The First Coast Roundup is an AA group founded in September 2025 that was inspired to re-establish an annual AA weekend of Recovery, Fellowship & Fun to Jacksonville, Florida. This three-day convention brings together members of AA and Al-Anon for an unforgettable celebration of unity, service & connection.

What to Expect:

Inspiring main-speaker meetings sharing powerful stories of recovery
Fun evening events to dance the night away
Hospitality room and social gatherings for fellowship
Speaker panel discussion on sobriety and spiritual growth
Raffles, merchandise, and giveaways
A Sunday closing meeting reminding us why we never have to do this alone

View Registration

Conventions are not a luxury — they are a necessity. They give us a broader view of our fellowship and keep us close to its heart.

Our Story

1940s — Local Gatherings and State Roundups

As we grew, local groups started hosting “Roundups,” “Jamborees,” and “State Conventions”. These were grassroots events — meetings held in rented halls or campgrounds, potluck dinners, speaker sessions, and dances. The purpose was always the same: unity and fellowship — keeping the spark alive through shared experience.

1940s

Local gatherings and state roundups begin, bringing communities together through fellowship and shared purpose across the region.

Growing Tradition

Roundups, Jamborees, and State Conventions grow in scale and reach, becoming cherished annual cornerstones of community life.
