Downtown Vision to celebrate 20 years of the First Wednesday Art Walk

September 29, 2023

Downtown Vision Inc., the Business Improvement District for Downtown Jacksonville, is readying its celebration of the 20th anniversary of the First Wednesday Art Walk.

The Oct. 4 celebration will kick off at 5 p.m. downtown as the city highlights local artists in James Weldon Johnson Park, many walkable restaurants and food vendors and participating businesses and cultural venues.

Originally, DVI launched Art Walk to bring more people downtown and to support local businesses in November 2003 with fewer than 10 participating venues lining Laura Street.
