Riverside Arts Market

Riverside Arts Market (RAM) operates beneath the Fuller Warren Bridge along Jacksonville’s Northbank Riverwalk. The organization dates its public opening to 2009 and says the project grew from a neighborhood initiative and a partnership with the city and local organizations to give the space beneath the bridge a community purpose. The published market address is 715 Riverside Avenue, beside the St. Johns River.

RAM brings together farmers, artists, bakers, makers, and small businesses, along with food stalls and live performances. The lineup changes, but the central idea remains: connect local products and creative work with a Saturday outing. Google comments commonly praise the range of vendors, music, and food; reviewers also remind visitors that parking may take planning when the area is busy.

The market lists hours every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., year-round and rain or shine. Its official site announces activities and themed events, so visitors traveling for a particular seller or performance should check weekly updates. The published contact number is (904) 389-2449. Outside market hours the site serves as public riverwalk space; the park should not be confused with the vendor market, whose stalls operate only during the stated hours.
