James Weldon Johnson Park is the home of a wide array of community events, fundraisers, and celebrations. See what’s coming up next!
Donor support is a vital source of support that makes it possible for us to add and upgrade amenities, offer free programs to the public, host great events and keeping the park safe and clean.
Help us keep visual arts alive in our park by donating to our Sculpture Fund. The Fund was established to offer rotating exhibits and maintain permanent artwork in James Weldon Johnson Park.
Help us celebrate Jacksonville’s rich culture and diverse talent at our Live at Lunch Series by donating to our Musician Fund.
On any given day, you can find children playing in our Kids Zone, downtown employees enjoying lunch and live music in our cafe, enjoying a free event or program for the community.
Sometimes soothing and relaxing; at other times, programmed and active. But always, the place where we gather and celebrate our diverse community. Connect with the best Jacksonville has to offer in a safe, vibrant place right in the middle of downtown.
