The 27 best boutiques in Jacksonville (2024)

The Riverside Arts Market is a weekly attraction in Jacksonville that features local artists, food vendors, and entertainment. The market is located at the southern terminus of the Northbank Riverwalk at the Fuller Warren Bridge, and it attracts crowds every Saturday.

Had a really nice time walking around under the overpass admiring all the artists' displays. Everyone was extremely friendly. Saw lots of dogs enjoying the weather too. Enjoyed a craft beer while sauntering around. Major good food trucks.

First time visiting the market. Lots of vendors. Really enjoyed the unique earring vendor. Found delicious breads too. Plenty of parking but it was a bit crowded. The bathrooms were decent too.

I love RAM! There are so many cool vendors as well as a great variety of food trucks. Situated on the river, and under the bridge it gives you plenty of shade and cover if it rains. It also has a stage where a good band is always playing. I just wish it stayed open a little longer on Saturdays.

After 20+ years of visiting Jax we decided to check out this market and we really enjoyed it. We bought several gifts and listened to the music (a wonderful Naval band)We parked in a lot about one block away that was free on Saturday.Wonderful activity for families, couples or anyone looking for fun finds and amazing food. I only wish we hadn’t eaten breakfast before we went.

My wife and I visit the RAM about once a month and it is always fun to see everything vendors have, enjoy some of the live shows, and eat some good food from the numerous food trucks that are there.It is located under the overpass protecting the vendor area from direct sun, but you can take a short walk along the St. John riverside trail to get as much sun as you would like. We often do after grabbing some food. The market is very pet friendly as well.This is more of an artisan farmers market with a small selection of produce and fresh foods (a more produce farmers market is about 5 minutes away). You can find homemade gifts, jewelery, food and drinks, art, and many other things and there seems to be a new vendor there nearly every month. Definitely worth stopping by when in Jax.

Lots of art and various food trucks available. There are also restaurants nearby, walking distance. Very family and pet-friendly and we were lucky enough to see a few dolphins near the bridge. Cool place to hang out on a Saturday morning. Doesn't feel super busy, but there are a lot of people. They have a main stage area and some folks were performing, not sure if it's every weekend, and I believe it was for charity.

Great Saturday activity for all ages. There’s a huge variety of vendors, farmers, makers, food trucks, etc. Weather is hard to pin down, the previous time we went the heat was unbearable but we were there last weekend around the same time and the temperature was so much better. There’s a small stage where they play live music and the area around it was recently turfed perfect for kids to dance and run around (or cool people to do yoga 😉)

Great place to come by when they are doing events and vendor shows. Everything is setup under an overpass and nice breeze helps keeps everything cool. Good food trucks and goodies all available for purchase when everyone is setup. Definitely recommended for a weekend outing and check out local businesses.

So much love for RAM! It's a collection of really great artists and local entrepreneurs with live music. All in all, it's a fun environment. Plus, you can access the Jax Riverwalk and take a little stroll or go to the cumme*r on one of their free admission days (check their website).

What a cool niche, we walked the new Fuller Warren Bridge Pedestrian/Bike Path over the river with incredible views, 3 bands scheduled to play, fresh produce, probably 100 craft tents, dozens of tasty food item’s: deserts, grilled meat, fresh breads, huge shaded area under the bridge, no rain or sun, paved cool dry space, great place to get some lunch and browse around a bit, luv it

A lovely and lively place, which is open on Saturday morning 10 am - 3 pm. Full of interesting things, many handmade articles, great food and lots of pets. A melting pot of people, the besides the river. It’s a nice place to spend your time to buy some fresh vegetables from local farmers, eat and soak in some positive energy. If you are in Jacksonville you must pay it a visit.

Always a good experience at RAM. Lots of vendors and some excellent food trucks. Parking is packed but not too hard to find a spot in the designated areas with a little patience. I was there this time for the North Florida Folk Network performers.

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!

Wonderful, if I could go every weekend I would 😍 Amazing atmosphere, cute dogs, and lovely view. Riverside arts market always has the best vendors from all over the city and some of the best food truck. If you haven’t been to the arts market then you’re missing out on a lot of fun. The arts market is from 10am-3pm and it’s every Saturday (rain or shine). Live music, trivia, and I nice place for kids all by the water. Bring family and friends to enjoy this amazing place. Also, a great a place for first dates! Come hungry because you’ll enjoy so much food.

We visited the RAM, Riverside Arts Market, this morning and we throughly enjoyed our visit! I highly recommend stopping and spending some time supporting local artists and vendors. We purchased some amazing produce at one stand of many, some stunning earrings for my wife from two different artists! Though we didn’t eat there, the food trucks were many and had a great variety of different items. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and we will be back again!

A fun, artsy, and pleasant experience! The location under the bridges and interstate is interesting but unique and fun in a way. The variety of shops and food trucks is great and the live music added a fun piece to the already lovely atmosphere.

Wonderful place to buy handmade gifts and order your lunch or snack from a food truck. Gorgeous views and lots of families. I'm not a big dog person and there were more dogs than I have ever seen before in a public space for people! I did love watching watching folks practicing, performing and making their crafts.

Wonderful variety of vendors, beautiful artwork of all kinds, food trucks & local bakeries selling breads, pastries at their booths, local honey, etc. Entertainment too. But the river view & direct access to the walking path across the Fuller Warren Bridge is such a plus to a beautiful Saturday morning in Jacksonville, Florida!
