This is our community’s park.
Friends of James Weldon Johnson Park is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to revitalizing Jacksonville’s oldest public park into a vibrant, modern, accessible space that engages diverse communities, presents high-quality daily programming, a family-friendly environment, and supports community-driven partnerships.

A strong emotional connection is made when a company “co-brands” itself with a community event. The emotional connection that the people of Jacksonville have with the Park cannot be replicated through traditional advertising alone. Events at JWJ Park will continue to establish Downtown Jacksonville as a vibrant community and destination point for years to come, and an atmosphere that provides for future economic development. We hope you join the fun!
Opportunities range from sponsoring a park amenity or zone to supporting our Live at Lunch Musicians or a festival such as our annual Brew & BBQ Festival.
We thank the organizations below for their continued support and would love to speak with you about becoming part of this outstanding group working together to help us reactivate Downtown Jacksonville.
