We had a blast with you at Jax River Jams!

It was so much fun activating this amazing space in #DTJax, drawing people from near and far to our Urban Core, and bringing foot traffic to our amazing Downtown businesses. Check out the video recap and see if you can spot yourself! Created by Birdman Filmworks.
