Must-go for locals. Not for tourists since it's not "uniquely" Jax.
Wow what a venue for a market. I never realized what you can do with the underside of a bridge! Ample parking, flushable privies, great selection of food trucks, mostly beautiful wares. I discovered it one week, already went back a second the following week. So easy and affordable, I'd take a trip over just for lunch even if I wasn't going to shop. Picked up some very affordable produce that looked great, and avoided what I thought were way overpriced baked goods. ($9 for a loaf of bread?) My husband laughs for how hard it is to get me to pull money out and buy things but so much temptation and I definitely gave it to some. I made a $5 dessert at a Greek place into 3 nights of dessert. Seriously affordable food, the artists are a mixed bag of affordable, appropriate, and others thinking way too much of themselves. Skip the picnic tables. Take your food to the terraced brick walls and if you have kids, they can work off some energy there too. Dog friendly. They request mask wearing.

Great Half-Day Trip
Awesome location under the bridge always makes it shady and right on the water, just beautiful! Unique selection of vendors: plants, honey, breads, veggies, (accepts SNAP) and creators with woodworking, glassblowing, jewelry making, and more. Food trucks and near restaurants and other shops in riverside. Easy parking, easy to walk around. Yes there’s bathrooms and it’s wheelchair accessible being on pavement. Can get crowded, asked that attendees wear masks.
