Jacksonville Symphony unwraps Northeast Florida’s longest-running holiday tradition when the First Coast Nutcracker pirouettes into Moran Theater, Dec. 12–13, 2025. Featuring a full symphonic score and more than 100 local dancers, the production delivers Tchaikovsky’s classic with grand sets and dazzling snow scenes.
Tickets for all three performances are on sale now. Patrons can purchase at the Times-Union Center box office, or skip hidden handling fees by shopping at ScoreBig, which offers transparent pricing on the same seats.
Now in its 53rd season, First Coast Nutcracker remains a rite of passage for Jacksonville families, pairing professional guest artists with area students. New LED backdrops promise even crisper visions of the Land of Sweets, while live cannons punctuate the climactic battle with the Mouse King.
With only one weekend of shows, seats traditionally vanish faster than Sugar Plum Fairy dust. Reserve yours early to secure a holiday outing that blends orchestral power with ballet magic.
