Riverside Arts Market

Wish there was more designated handicap parking. Had a hard time find a spot we could get electric chair out of trunk. Maybe interesting vendors. Orchids and a ring and bread and hot sauce came home with us. We will return🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 great place to visit for locals and visitors alike👍 enjoyed the cheesesteaks too 🥳

One of my favorite places to bring my friends from out of town. Everyone is so nice and it really inspires you to make art. I have a few booths that I go to every time! The only real downside is the people/parking. After about 11 it gets super crowded and you have to circle the lot a few times. If you get there early when it first opens, though, you'll be fine!

Five stars for the Riverside Arts Market! Yesterday’s event was such a treat—packed with joy and creativity. The Kids Entrepreneur Vendors were absolutely inspiring—so many talented young minds showcasing their businesses with pride. The Easter egg hunt was a hit with the little ones, and the children’s dance performances brought so much energy and heart. After the fun, we enjoyed a peaceful walk along the Riverwalk. The scenery was stunning—blue skies, gentle breeze, and beautiful views. A perfect family day out!

The vibe was on point. Plenty of vendors, lots of food options. I love that the venue is covered by the bridge. Fun morning activity.

Wow. What a great time I had, at the Riverside Arts Market today! Beautiful weather, awesome food and art, and great bands at the small amphitheater to boot!

Excellent place for a variety of goods and services. Gps directions to the Cummer Museum which is next door. The market is directly under i95. There's a variety of food trucks.(international) and basic American. Lots of table,chairs, and benches. There's even activities for children. 5 🌟..we are going back

Looks like I never reviewed River Arts Market despite being once before. Love this market, it was especially cold today but still many people came out with their dogs, kids, and loved ones. I especially like the guanbanana place, it has an amazing fruit smoothie bowl. I was once carrying it and got stares at my bowl and one person asked me about it 😂. The seitan place is cool too! Esp for vegans that enjoy it! There’s lot of clothing and other items to shop for as well. Favorite part for me was sitting under the bridge and listening to the artist that was singing, super peaceful and poetic. Also, one of the coolest things is this man dressed up who prints letters and images on wood (see last image). Will be back!

This is actually a review of the Night Market. We had a great time! Good selection of vendors and the dancers were great. We had a blast!

Lots of local food vendors, jewelry, clothes, etc! They have a little bit of everything for everyone and since it's under the bridge it doesn't get too hot in the summer months. The views are great and there's music and activities for the whole family. Very dog friendly as well. Highly recommend to the whole fam ^.^

A new place I love. Free entry, free parking we are off to a great start. I didn't know what to expect. It was more vendors than I expected. I actually walked around the whole market before I bought anything. I loved the micro - greens, they cut them right from the batch that it grew out of. I got a large flat, with every micro green they had. They said some were spicy, but I beg to differ. It might be spicy for some, just not me. Also got some boiled spicy peanuts. My son loves them! The Indian food vendor will give you samples. I bought the chic pea Curry (I think that's what it was) and the yellow rice, both were very good. I really wanted to get some Lyon's mane mushrooms, but the price was a bit more than I was willing to spend. But they looked amazing. Its nice to see a place where people that want their own business can get there start.

The market was busy busy when I visited around lunchtime (on a Saturday). There is an accessible parking about one block away. they were a variety of crafts, preserves, food, food trucks, baked goods that should satisfy nearly everyone. One of my favorite stops was the fusion food truck, where they see the variety of Indian styled entries. The market was busy, but not overwhelming, but with a visit.

When friends visit Jacksonville and ask what there is to do, the RAM is always at the top of the list. I can count on fun vendors, food trucks, live music, and art right on the water, rain or shine!

One of the best Saturday traditions in Jacksonville! There are a ton of vendors, plenty of options for food and drinks (we like to get a cold brew or iced coffee, especially during the summer), and it's dog-friendly. Agree with some of the other reviews that a few of the vendors are a little pricey, but definitely love supporting small and local businesses. This past weekend I splurged and got: fresh veggies, a reusable sponge, a handful of candles, 2 outfits for my niece, hummus and pita chips, coffee, fresh eggs, dog treats and a carved wooden piece for my grandmother. It was an excellent haul and we had so much fun browsing for the afternoon. Live music, lots of goodies, usually great weather and lots of options for shopping - you really can't beat it!

RAM never disappoints! I can go every weekend in a month and every time there will somehow be something new I notice every time. A variety of produce, ready to eat food, art, and crafts, all from local and small businesses. Who could complain about that? If you are thinking of going for the first time, my top recommendations are Olive My Pickle and Mixed Fillings Pie shop!

I have been there many times over the years since started and me and my wife always enjoy it. Especially like food items to take home. Also most all people that have shops are very cordial. Slight complaint is distance to get parking.

Lively fun place with amazing local art. Definitely worth a visit. Just a note- if you're a tourist you may not be able to get food from the food trucks as the order screen won't accept foreign telephone numbers. I loved that dogs were welcome (and people cleaned up after them!) It's not overly large but it's worth it.

A nice way to spend your Saturday for free. Walking around, browsing at vendors, and listening to music are one of the many things you can do for free at the Riverside Arts Market. While you're at it, get something to eat or something to buy. Always great vendors and different foods to try.

This is the best way to spend a Saturday morning! If you've got guests in town this is a great look at local options and cute little keepsakes! The vendors all rock. The meat and produce selection is amazing, this is where I do the bulk of my grocery shopping! There's live music or performances with shady places to sit. There's less vendors in the summer months, still plenty to do! There's yoga before it opens at 9, no need to sign up but get there early to get a good spot! Parking can be a nightmare but it's definitely worth it

This simply is a venue for retailers to sell the wares. I enjoyed the interaction with many of the crafters. The gray cloud was the cost associated with the food trucks on site. You would think you were at one of the other entertainment venues and were charging such elevated prices, which is a norm.

My husband and I love spending a leisurely Saturday morning/afternoon. This market has everything from locally sourced and organic fruits, veggies, eggs, milk (both cow and goat), honey, mushrooms, sprouts, salts, plants, etc... Take your cart and or sturdy bags, you're going to want one of everything! Tip: if you want milk or milk products you need to get there early they run out quick! Most of the booths have people that are very knowledgeable and helpful in guiding you to items to increase your health. I was looking for a specific sprout and Davey at the sprout booth looked it up and took my contact information to source and grow the product. How awesome is that for customer service There are some great plants I'm very grateful they knew which are safe in my house with dogs and cats. Love love love this market, the only complaint I have is that I feel they need picnic tables and chairs to enjoy the wonderful food served.

Supporting local businesses every thing from handmade crafts to delicious eats. It's a perfect must to on a Saturday morning.

We were here a couple weeks ago. There were half a dozen food trucks, a live band, vendors selling all sorts of stuff from produce to handmade artwork. Restroom is available and not far from the river. There's a little something for everyone here I'm sure. It's mostly covered under the Fuller Warren Bridge. Parking can be a bit hectic. There's a skate park right across the street and that brings in additional footprint as well. There's JSO/CSO directing traffic which is nice. The surround lots are available and free to park. At least for now I'm sure. It's worth checking out to kill an hour or two here on a Saturday. Most vendors seem to accept electronic payments, but bring cash just in case.

Great time!! Awesome food truck offerings!! Great music! Talented Artists!! A very nice way to spend a relaxing Sunday afternoon! Amazing to see all the talent our town has to offer!!

Riverside Arts Market is a nice place to get out when the weather is nice. Its located under a bridge on the river. There are tons of food trucks, food tents, art, clothing, produce, and other kinds of vendors. There are tons of dogs with their owners out. It can get super crowded to the point where it is hard to walk through the isles. Some might feel the vendors are a little pricy but I like supporting local businesses.

1/6/24 Riverside Market is still under the Fuller Warner Bridge every Sat., year round. I was excited about visiting since we hadn't been in years. It was bustling with arts, food trucks and farmers. I saw several old time, friends artists who are still there and enjoying it. Wanting to support local farmers we bought several veggies and were please with the selection and quality. There is construction across the street for expanding RAM and adding a skate park...how cool!

Stopped by here in the morning and had a lovely time! Lots of really cool interesting vendors, great ambiance on the water, and live music/dance performances make this a great weekend activity. Try walking on the Riverwalk after!

Love RAM. Very family friendly place and love supporting all our local vendors and food trucks! There are also other activities and events. This is one of my favorite weekend spot

I always enjoy browsing the RAM. I also always say I will only look and that never happens, but at least I kept it under $$$. The vibe, the artist and artisans are so good, it's always different for me when I go. Ok, yes I brought gourmet foods and jewelry, I couldn't help myself! Glad that's out, I feel better :) I park a bit away and walk the Northbank to get there, it's a 2fer!

Great farmers market in Jacksonville many vendors parking id not easy but free and manageable

The Riverside Arts Market is one of my favorite things about Jacksonville. My boyfriend and I go almost every Saturday, and always find new things! Parking is free and easy in the connecting lots. Try to go early if possible to get a good spot. We usually go at 10 am and never have an issue. Our first stop is always to the Haymaker truck for my boyfriend to get the chicken sausage, egg, and gouda breakfast sandwich. We browse through all of the booths before getting our regular produce. The Alvarez Farms tent is my favorite for vegetables. I have gotten pretty much everything there and the prices are reasonable. I like that they don't use any pesticides or sprays. Don't miss the cake queen! All of her huge slices of cake are delicious, but I especially love the lemon blueberry one. Summa Salts is another great local booth that has so many interesting salts. I love the seafood herb one the best! After we stock up on everything I stop at Chancho King to get a ceviche to take home for lunch. Sometimes they have live music, yoga, dancing, and more. They are also very dog friendly and I'm always impressed with how well behaved all the pups are. This is a great way to support so many different local businesses each week.

This was a fun outing for shopping and dining. Great location with plenty of parking. The bathrooms were acceptable for the venue.

Favorite Saturday activity in JAX! My husband and I love supporting local and this place is amazing to do just that. There are always new vendors to check out and they normally have some sort of live music or entertainment going on at the main stage. Arts market is dog friendly for well behaved pups which is awesome to get your four legged friends out of the house. Parking is all over so it makes it very easy to get to and I love after we are done walking around we can stroll along the river. 10/10 must check out if you are local or visiting Jacksonville!

I've been itching to get over to the Riverside Arts Market after all the buzz going on around about it. Every Saturday, right on the water, Riverside fills up with a variety of vendors from 10:00am-3:00pm. I will note that parking was a little bit difficult so I would recommend arriving early. The sidewalks were booming with friends and families heading to the tents on the water, and I mean every family member... even the furry ones with 4 legs. Yep, R.A.M is 100% dog friendly and if you're an animal lover like me, you'll be delighted to see dozens of furry friends walking around! Between local fruit and vegetable farmers, egg farmers, milk farmers, honey vendors, and flower/plant farmers, R.A.M makes it very easy for you to both support local businesses and bring fresh produce to you and your family. Since spring has officially sprung, I got myself a bouquet of locally grown lavender, light pink, and yellow flowers to brighten up my house from one of their kind vendors. Then, I stopped by the "1748 Bakehouse" kiosk for some fresh bread. I saw the word "focaccia" and my Italian heart skipped a beat! I got the garlic herb focaccia but they also had tomato herb and olive loaves too. This was my first time supporting this business and I'm so glad I discovered them. I know I will be a returning customer! As I approved the water, one of the food trucks i've been following on Instagram caught my eye...Kbop korean BBQ. they specialize in Korean barbecue style bowls with rice, japchae lettuce, mandu, with a dumpling on top! There's a selection of fried chicken, grilled chicken- spicy or regular, pork, bulgogi, veggie, and spicy shrimp. I choose the KFC, (korean fried chicken) bowl and the chicken was tossed in a mild sauce, then drizzled with a creamy sauce on top. Every aspect of the bowl was delicious, if the portion wasn't so big I know would have devoured the entire thing. However, I had a brown sugar Boba on the side which filled me up just enough. The service was exceptional and you really get a bang for your buck here. I can't wait for them to open their location off Southside Boulevard so I can enjoy these bowls all the time! I had a delightful time at the Riverside arts market and found 2 new businesses I know I will be a regular at. This is a perfect place to enjoy a sunny Saturday morning, support the local economy, and have some great food and shop!

Even in the summer, this is a great place to walk around. We go early and take the pups before it gets too hot. Walk on Riverwalk before the market opens at 10am. Most vendors are under the shade of the highway overhead and there are grassy & mulched areas too. Nice variety of vendors including items for humans and pets, local food trucks, produce and so much more.

This was my FIRST time visiting the market and I will be back. There is so much to see, do and shop! I didn't have enough time since i was already at eartha's but i did stop by a couple of booths and the vibe was incredible! I can't wait to give up an update!

My boyfriend & I spent our morning here and had a great experience. All of the vendors were kind and genuine people and each of their stands were unique and beautiful! Buying from small owned businesses is so important and the Riverside Arts Market had everything including a variety of food trucks, artwork, home grown produce, jewelry, pet supplies/treats, honey stands and homemade lotions/soaps! We grabbed a variety of things and I was very pleased with all my findings! Go spend a Saturday morning here, you won't regret it!

They have everything you need. Lots of samples, some fruits and vegetables, jewelry and lots of food trucks. If you want bread or olives get there early. Parking was easy and it was nice and breezy even in the hot summer weather. Love it!

Located under the the Fuller Warren Bridge, this bustling and lively market of makers and creatives has everything, from food trucks, to graphics, stationary to produce, doggie goods and so much more. It is a go to when here in downtown Jacksonville on the busy weekends. And when the shopping and eating is over you can head over deep into the market towards the river and enjoy live music and performances. Recently fake grass was installed at the mini-theater so the seating is very put together. Great place to bring the family, go on a date or just stop by on your run.

Favorite Saturday tradition! I've made it a habit to stop into Riverside arts market (RAM as it's also known by acronym) every Saturday morning. Starting off with free yoga before the market by various local instructors. Then I find myself walking the dozens of vendors for artists, businesses, and produce/goods. Some of my favorites are cake queen, honey products, backyard buffalo, and olive my pickles. I get my produce for the week then find great works to adorn my house with. Parking is simple at the Black Knight building and there are food trucks or plenty of restaurants within walking distance (I like arepa please, haymaker coffee, and river and post as a brunch treats)

This is a great weekend outing. It's under a bridge so it helps it not get too hot. There are a lot of food truck options, cute booths with things locals are selling, and obviously local produce. It also good atmosphere.

We spent about an hour at RAM today. I loved it! It's shaded for the most part so it wasn't super hot. We got some soap/body butter from the green iguana bath stall that smelled amazing. We also got some garlic stuffed olives for my mom. Overall it was great for us to bring our infant beach's it is very stroller accessible. Free to attend. Great little family outing. Also the dog watching is great too!

We love this spot for so many reasons. It is a fun activity to take visiting family and friends. It provides a platform for many small businesses. There's a donation based yoga class to start the day. And the music and food are awesome! I'm glad Jacksonville has this and I encourage everyone to check it out!

Riverside Arts Market is really a gem here in Jacksonville. I went with my niece one weekend in March. We had a blast, and the weather was amazing. I love getting a chance to support local goods. It's a great family friendly experience. It's also very dog friendly which is a plus for dog lovers, but this may be a con for others who aren't big fans of dogs. There is something for everyone plants, honey, fresh bread, teas, and so much more. The icing on the cake has to be the yummy food trucks. Loved them down. Now that I'm writing this review, I think I may make a visit tomorrow.

LOVE the local vendors!!! Liquid Therapy by far had an outstanding Selection of shirts that are great for exercise. The customer service from the owner was outstanding As he demonstrated a loyalty to his product and the customers he is serving. I also had the opportunity to buy some homemade jam that is phenomenal I will go back just for liquid therapy and the jam!

Definitely up there on my top 10 farmers markets in the USA. Impressive quality of vendors and offerings. I love how many artists are set up here amongst the food crafters :) Fresh produce and homemade delicacies, as well as body care artisans, all found here. The food trucks were pumping out really yummy stuff too! The location is lovely, situated waterfront and under a tall bridge, which makes for an enjoyable stroll and scenery. **Big ups to enhancing the purchase power by offering double food stamp benefits, if you have ebt allowance :) This definitely is a win win and deserves a visit! I would certainly be back here when I'm in Jacksonville again.

Always enjoying walking around RAM. Never go there looking for anything particular but we always find something we like. As an art loving and creative person, I love seeing what others have made and I appreciate their talents. The only con is that my kids want to buy everything! It's set up under a bridge so there's plenty of shade and places to sit and most of the time there's a nice cool breeze also. Many vendors offering fresh produce and food products including food trucks that get you to stop with the aroma of the goodness they are cooking up. It helps that you're walking everywhere if you decide to try all the food. Lol Love supporting the local artisans and businesses. Sometimes they even have live music happening. Picked up the cutest bunny shaped cookies to add to Easter baskets from Maddy D's.

My only experience at Riverside Arts Market was February 2020 when I attended the Jacksonville Food & Wine Festival with a few out of town and local friends. Wow, I was not anticipating the crowd in attendance. Parking was a bit of a challenge. I finally settled for a parking garage not too far away. It was a sunny but chilly day on the river. I went primarily to hang with friends, drink some tasty beer and listen to my favorite local band, The Band Be Easy. I absolutely accomplished my goal! I waited an hour or so before finding food as all of the lines were super crazy long, including the drink lines. My friends and I would take turns buying beer so no one had to wait in line all the time:) I had a couple of beers first, then I noticed the Happy Grilled Cheese line was much shorter so I jumped on it. The stage had the beautiful St. Johns River as a back drop. Boats were going by and you could see a few bridges (we were under one bridge) from the stands. The stand had a nice tier set up, so all could view, with some space in front of the stage for dancing. My goal is to attend a monthly RAM event soon, once restarted, so I can focus on appreciating and supporting all of the local vendors.

Lots of vendors here at this weekly Saturday market. Bring cash just in case! Loads of arts and crafts and a few produce and bakery tents. Can get quite busy, hard to find parking!

First time ever visiting the riverside arts market with my friend who's a native in Jacksonville and I enjoyed it so much! There were so many local artists, artisans, small businesses and delicious foods and local food trucks to try as well! It's open rain or shine every Saturday from 10-2 and there's plenty of parking as well around it. I will definitely be coming back soon!

So glad we stopped by this little market. It was Filipino Heritage day so there was a lot of great food and music that added to the experience. Nestled partially under the bridge and just off the water means some shade, some sun and a great view. We had the most amazing chicken skewers with noodles ( I added some sweet chili sauce to mine. and sriracha for a kick) My son purchased a beautiful pot of basil from a St Augustine vendor for 5 dollars. They have a market every saturday, try to stop by if your in the area.

Great art festival! I can't believe they have it every weekend. Such nice produce, arts, crafts, etc. Pleasant crowd and nice setting, right on the water. But beware that it can be brutally cold, down on the river, in the winter so bring a scarf on a chilly day. We got a few gifts and some wonderful kale, carrots and other produce. There were also some scrumptious looking pastries, cookies and other sweets.

The Riverside Arts Market is a must visit in Jacksonville. It has everything, from shops to food to entertainment. We enjoyed walking around the entire area and browsing through all of the local vendors. We also enjoyed listening to live music as we ate our food from the food trucks there. If you are wanting to go, I would suggest getting there a little early as finding parking can be difficult. Overall, this is one of the busiest markets in Jacksonville and a great place to go on dates or to visit with the family.

I must first say that I'm far from being Artsy as possible but I really enjoyed myself today at the Riverside Art Market. I was in Riverside to try Einstein Bagel and stumbled upon this art market. I'm happy I did because it was really cool to just walk through and see all the vendors and their work. It's spacious enough to the point where you can bring your dog and walk around. So it's definitely dog friendly and even vendors have treats for your pet. It's easy to get to and also free and easy parking right next to the market. They also have food trucks ready and waiting for you to get hungry on the side. Overall it's an awesome little day you can have by the water with your loved ones and furry friend! I will be visiting this market again as I love heading to Riverside on the weekends.

I love Riverside Arts Market. It a great collection of local food vendors, farmers, and artists. It's a wonderful way to support local businesses and you couldn't ask for a better view of the St. Johns River. I try to go at least every other Saturday. On today's trip, I got lunch from Cely's Filipino Food, dessert from 1748 Bakehouse, and a couple of cute magnets from Random Fandom Gifts. All of these fantastic buys from one place. Go check them out every Saturday under the Fuller Warren Bridge in downtown Jax.

really nice place! everyday saturday only 10a-3p, dog friendly w/ some dog etiquette rules and soooo many cute friendly dogs! TONS of vendors from soap to fresh veggies/honey, to art, to jewelry to funky other thing and terrariums. all local. it's outdoors, under the bridge and mostly shaded but some sunny areas. they have a small coffee vendor and food trucks too. live music was nice and there is seating near the music to eat and chill near the water. parking gets tricky, but there are plenty of parking lot you shouldn't park at but everyone still does. fair amount of people there as well, an get crowded. food trucks were mostly good, tons of cool stuff...we got some jewelry and other things. they even have a fancy pet photo shoot booth (professional dog photos). i highly recommend it, super fun spot. everyone should go a few times a year and more if you need fresh vegetables. took my folks and they loved it. great place for kids too and the whole family.

Riverside Arts Market is actually pretty cool! Its located underneath the bridge so a lot of cool things are going on here just like every Saturday they have the riverside arts market where all the small business and food trucks gather from 10 am - 3pm and the best part here?!?! You can bring your pups!!!! Its a outside activity which is really good especially here in Jacksonville! Yes it can be very hot on summer and very cold on winter but hey! Most of the time we get a very good day! (I think? We just moved here a year ago so I really can't say I know the weather here lol). I really recommend this riverside arts market its a good way to support local businesses and to try different foods from the food trucks. It also have a nice view of St. Johns river and for parking there's a bunch of parking spots from the nearby building and they are nice enough to open it to the public! So when you are here just try it out! And you will enjoy yourself!
