Community First Saturdays - March 2nd

[Patricia M. McBride]

This is going to be happen the first Saturday every month, so if you are free and see something you would enjoy doing here are the happening for March 2.

 

Community First Saturdays celebrates our great St. Johns this Saturday, March 2nd, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., on the Northbank Riverwalk Downtown.

The event is held on Coastline Dr. at the east end of the Riverwalk. There is ample parking in the old courthouse parking lot and bike valet available on site, both free of charge.

There is also ample parking Downtown and metered street parking is free. JTA has also generously activated the Skyway for free, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Be sure to take your kids on the Skyway and have an excursion Downtown!

 

We have numerous activities the whole family will enjoy. Stay connected through our blog and facebook pages for additional programming including details on how to win free bikes from Bikes Direct. The Riverwalk will be buzzing with energy as we kick off the fifth season of the Riverside Arts Market (Florida's largest weekly cultural event) and celebrate Mutt March at the Jacksonville Landing.
