Introducing Jaxsons Night Market



The future of downtown Jacksonville gets better by the minute. Fresh off the heals of a successful One Spark 2014 Festival, Jaxsons Night Market launches in the heart of downtown tonight.

Yes, a great new positive for Downtown and the Urban Core.

Please understand that the parking lot is used by downtown employees during normal business hours. We have been promised a clear lot at 5pm to begin setting up, however we have no control over whether that is actually the case. It might be chaotic at first while scrambling to set everything up in time.. so please bear with us.

Great idea. Hopefully it turns into something that happens every week though. 3 hours once a month isn't exactly a whole heck of a lot of time.

Even better, why not set up booths that never get taken down and get filled with vendors each evening. Like a permanent fair or gathering spot. It's not like we don't have a bazillion empty lots downtown :-)

I'm sure that is the ultimate goal, but you've got to test market demand first.

Legit. We'll be there - Skyway don't fail me now.

Looks like there won't be any rain tonight. Weather forecast says 0% . Its going to be a little windy, but otherwise, looks like a great night for food, drinks, and fun.

Great idea. Hope it thrives. Maybe eh event can be on a tour - moving locations around Downtown (if there are more). Near the Skyway would be a plus. Take advantage of the positive buzz about the Skyway after One Spark.

Why not on Friday? Fridays are so dead in downtown right now and I think you would get a lot more people to come out on a Friday night. Still great to see!
