Riverside Arts Market also becoming widely known as RAM is taking Jacksonville dwellers by storm!
Every Saturday from 10:00am-4:00pm from March to December you can catch local artists, some yummy food or just to hang out by the River and listen to local performers.

The Food Court has ready-to-eat delectibles provided by some of Riverside-Avondale's most popular restaurants. You'll sample a rainbow of tastes prepared by our neighborhood chefs - from gourmet hotdogs to international cuisine to adventurous local specialties - all budget-priced to encourage you and your family to enjoy our riverfront dining experience and then to later explore your favorite tastes at your restaurant of choice.
Fresh fruits and vegatables are also avalable from local farmers. Some of the products from farmers and growers featured throughout the year will include:
Some find it hard to believe, but this amazing public riverfront space beneath the Fuller Warren Bridge was originally scheduled to be a retention pond, surrounded by a chain-link fence, as the construction of the bridge began in the mid-1990s.
