Friends of James Weldon Johnson Park is not JUST a park.
We produce experiences that foster connections and create memories in the heart of Downtown Jacksonville. From the WOW to the HOW, we are innovators in forming a sense of identity through events featuring music, dance, performance and visual art, food and drink. Daily, we convene downtown office workers hungry for lunch, live music and kinship. Weekends are filled with larger festivals highlighting the varied culture of Jacksonville. Check out our calendar of offerings below.
