Georgia-Florida Weekend 

This Event Happens: October 30 - November 1, 2026

Welcome to the Golden Isles, the Bulldawg Headquarters for the annual Georgia vs. Florida game! We’ve been welcoming die hard football fans to our stretch of the Georgia coast for more than 50 years to celebrate and cheer on their favorite team.

In 2026, the annual Georgia vs. Florida game will be temporarily relocated to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta while renovations take place at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville. While the rivalry is taking a one-year detour from Jacksonville, the Golden Isles is still a great place to spend your football weekend. Whether you’re heading to Atlanta for the game or looking for a coastal escape before or after kickoff, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the weekend.

With mild weather, ample dining options and accommodations to fit any budget, it’s no wonder the Golden Isles is considered the top dawg of destinations to visit during football season. Catch the game at your favorite restaurant, enjoy a walk on the beach during halftime, you’re bound to revel in the Golden Isles during the annual Georgia vs. Florida game.

The official fall colors of the Golden Isles are undoubtedly red and black. Many businesses offer deals and specials for football fans. Several signature events are scheduled leading up to the big game, ensuring even more possibilities for fun and camaraderie in the Golden Isles. Be sure to check our Live Music Schedule when you’re here to see where you can find bands and artists playing in the evenings.

Whether you’re cheering from the stands in Atlanta or watching the game from the coast, make the Golden Isles part of your Georgia-Florida Weekend. And when the rivalry returns to Jacksonville, we’ll be ready to welcome you back to the Golden Isles for another coastal football tradition.
