Luminaria at Memorial Park
2023-12-10 13:00 - 18:00 | Memorial Park, 1620 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, FL, 32204, United States
Join the fun and experience the beauty of Memorial Park during the holidays!
On the evening of Luminaria residents set luminaries on the sidewalks and walkways between their houses as a way to light the way between homes, inviting friends and neighbors to travel from house to house while celebrating the season and enjoying each other’s company. It also promotes the unique character of our neighborhood.
Luminaria has since become one of the premier holiday events in Jacksonville and a legacy for the Riverside Avondale area. Luminaria is a community-driven event that involves many volunteers and local celebrations throughout the district. It is a wonderful example of community pride and dedication to the neighborhood.
