It’s definitely no secret that third Thursdays of the month are blocked off in my calendar throughout the remainder of the year, and if you’ve gone to just ONE Sip&Stroll event, you know exactly why. Whether you’ve been her for decades or just moved to Jacksonville, this is one of the best ways to experience two of our best assets : the river and the people! I’ve called this the adult Art Walk, and am sticking with it - as you get to stroll down the Southbank Riverwalk, overlooking downtown as the sun sets, while having a drink, a plate of food, and listening to the iconic “Let’s Ride Brass Band”. If you’re a night-owl, the after party starts at 8pm on the DoubleTree Hotel pool deck, where HushHush is providing free headphones for a night of silent disco.
