Produced by Riverside Avondale Preservation, the Riverside Arts Market is a weekly arts and farmers market hosted on Saturdays from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., rain or shine. RAM features a variety of small businesses from farmers to artists to makers, bakers and food trucks. Under the Fuller Warren Bridge, you’ll find a family-friendly event that attracts 4,000+ visitors every Saturday. The riverfront amphitheater seats 350 people and features hours of live music. Stroll through the rows of local artists and makers. At RAM you will find art, jewelry, candles, plants, bath and body products and so much more all made locally. Each Saturday at RAM is different than the next and the best way to experience is to visit!

At the Riverside Arts Market, enjoy the harvest of the agricultural arts by supporting Florida farmers. Pick up the freshest local produce of the week, with some of it coming from Jacksonville! To remain sustainable, farmer’s depend on your weekly purchases, so come for the freshest and stay for the fun. Our community benefits from all of us staying “loyal to local.”

Riverside Arts Market

 

We are advocates for small businesses, artists, makers, farmers. Our market serves as a vital economic outlet, community showcase of the arts and a community gathering for farmers, artists, makers, and customers alike. We will do everything we can to continue to support our partners and we are working now to determine how best to help them. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, please continue supporting our artists, makers, farmers, bakers and more.

Find links to online stores here, check out what the makers are doing, and stay up to date on how you can support them.
