Crowds of people gather in front of The Jacksonville Landing to shop for fresh produce and hand made goods at the newly relocated Downtown Friday Market. The market officially moved from Hemming Plaza to The Landing on October 1, as part of a new partnership formed between The Jacksonville Landing and Downtown Vision, Inc.

Vendors set up underneath tents along the front steps of The Landing, selling an assortment of items including local honey, fresh fruits and vegetables, plants, baked goods and arts and crafts. The new market location activates the streetscape along Independent Drive and complements the city's Laura Street Improvement Project.

The market will continue to operate on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Unlike the Hemming Plaza market, the new Landing location will provide vendors indoor options during inclement weather. Local company Global Greenup will manage the operation of the market. Interested vendors should contact Global Greenup at (904) 236-9966 or visit www.globalgreenup.com.
