Northbank Riverwalk and visit RAM

This outing will provide an opportunity to both take a walk along the North bank Riverwalk, and then visit the Riverside Arts Market (RAM).
We'll meet near the amphitheater (located near the river) at RAM at 8:45 and then walk along the riverwalk, over the bridge with Love Locks, through Corkscrew Park (a public outdoor work out facility), past a battleship, and all the way to the boat/yacht club before we turnaround and head back. The total walk will be around 4 miles at a moderate pace. There will be some elevation changes.

RAM advocates for the small businesses, artists, creators, and farmers of Jacksonville. The market serves as a vital economic outlet, acting as a community showcase of the arts and a communal gathering for farmers, artists, makers, and customers alike.

After the walk officially ends, we'll return to RAM, where you are free to browse, shop, or select lunch from a diversified plethora of food trucks. There may even be live entertainment from 12-1.

No pets on this outing. To be prepared for the walk, you’ll want to bring bottled water, good walking shoes, and sunblock*.

Please note there is free parking in the Black Knight/FIS parking lot next to the market.
