The Fellowship of the Spirit
The First Coast Roundup is a weekend of recovery, fellowship, and fun in Jacksonville Beach, 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
- Workshops and panel discussions on sobriety and spiritual growth
- Raffles, merchandise, and giveaways
- A Sunday closing meeting reminding us why we never have to do this alone
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.
— Bill W.

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.
