“Having a music festival in Riverside/Avondale has been a dream of ours so the moment we heard RAP had the wheels in motion we jumped at the chance! Anything that brings the community together with music, love, and joy is something that Cowford wants to be part of.

Thank you, fellow Jacksonvillians, for allowing us to participate and support the 2024 Music Tour! Our city is rich with musical history that should be honored, and our current local musicians deserve to be showcased. We’re so happy that that time has come! A big thank you to Riverside Avondale Preservation for working so hard to bring this to our community and we hope that this becomes an annual event that we can all look forward to year after year. ” – Cowford Realty team.

The inaugural Music Tour presented by Cowford Realty & Design will celebrate Riverside
& Avondale’s rich musical history. This fall event
will feature performances across eight unique
stages, each narrating a different story of musical
moments and people that have shaped our
community including memorabilia.

The event focuses on individuals from our community, locally written music with global significance, and the influence of musicians in the past on music today. Jacksonville and Riverside offer well-known and untold stories of music worth sharing! Similar to Home Tour and Garden Tour, the event includes:⁠

The Music Tour will share our community’s music history at multiple distinct locations throughout Riverside including homes, yards, parks, and businesses. Unlike a typical music festival with centralized stages, the Music Tour will offer a program and walkable route to unassuming stages and locations throughout the district, limited to 1,000 people!
