Donna Deegan was inaugurated as the 45th mayor of Jacksonville on July 1, 2023.

With persistent neighborhood flooding in the headlines, and just ahead of a final City Council vote on the proposed Community Benefits Agreement, we welcome Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan in our monthly “Ask the Mayor” segment.

Then, the annual Hindu festival of Navratri features traditional Garba and Dandiya dances, and this year, a performance by Mumbai-based singer Parth Oza, the “Prince of Traditional Garba.” We talk to organizers ahead of the upcoming Garba Dhamaal at the Prime Osborn Convention Center.

Guests:

Vijay Patel, Jax Indian Events
