Cant believe Ive been in Jax for almost 5 years now and havent been to RAM until recently. Goes on every Saturday from 10am to 4pm. Place for art lovers, treasure hunters, music fans and foodies. Its free fun (if you dont buy anything while there which is hard not to). Most booths take credit cards as payments, but most of the fresh produce booths usually take cash. Good food and a good time. Take the family here, or go for a nice stroll with a date or a few friends on a Saturday morning. They also have live music too. The kids seem to love dancing in front of the stage.

RAM can be great at times, when businesses come en masse but earlier in the season and at other less logical times there can be times when it feels like a ghost town. We usually visit the RAM to buy from very specific shops that are frequently there such as My Pepper Jelly but once in a while we find an interesting newbie. I wish more local businesses would participate but it seems like it is possibly slowing down a bit. Overall its a great place to find some neat local goodies.

Great for comfort food, music, and people watching. Some interesting vendors but mostly "commercial" art. Some local produce for the organically inclined. Bought some fresh Mayport shrimp there. Yummy. Nice and shady under the I95 bridge albeit the intruding highway noise right above. Diverse group of mostly inner city residents. Ill keep coming back for more.

Weve lived in Jacksonville for over 2 years and finally decided to give the Riverside Arts Market a try. I loved that its covered (from rain and the beating sun) by the bridge. There were plenty of homemade items and food to purchase. There was a band and lots of food trucks. Its a great way to buy locally a support people in our city.

Love the RAM! We always find the neatest things here and were all for supporting our local small businesses! The live music and yummy food vendors really make this place special. I wish they kept it going just a little later into the day or even had it on a Sunday once a month. Our Saturday mornings are always so busy!

This is a wonderful place to spend a Saturday morning. Great food, lots of entertainment for all. Local artists, street performers to bands playing. Bring your pets and enjoy a fantastic time. I love all the fresh fruits and veggies, all of the crafts. I love all of it. What a great addition to the area!!!!

Fun Saturday afternoon outing. Lots of local vendors selling everything from vegetables to cheese to soap. Always musical entertainment lots of food offerings again from local vendors. Get out and support your community take the dog take the kids meet your friends because they will all be there

Great food selection for lunch and found several vendors with local honey. Was able to get some local meat as well. Produce selection however was almost nonexistent as only lettuce was available. Arts and other vendors were present but fairly lowly populated this time of year (September).

Great find on a Saturday morning. Several vendor stalls of near-local produce, fish and meats as well as arts & crafts offerings. Street food is also available with cuisine from burgers and BBQ to Filipino. Live music on stage as well. Good for the family and a healthy walk outdoors.

Excellent venue, always lots of people, yet extremely difficult to reach anyone in charge to get into the venue and too stringent on accepting vendors who practice other arts not showcased at this venue. Love this Market, would love to be included as well. God Bless

Wonderful weekly event. Entertainment, great for family, inluding (crowd friendly) animals. Local grown food vendors. Cooked food Vendors. Crafts Vendors, Jewlery and similar. Some regulars and some changing seasonally, but consistenly enjoyable as a weekly Event.

I love going-- arts and farmers markets make me happy! Id like to see the arts and farmers market get even bigger and better! Promote it even more. Is there a way to expand, or fit more vendors in the space? Anyway, I love it and it can be even better.

Rain or shine its a great time. Located under the I95 bridge the RAM is out of the rain and sun. The stage is set up riverside so usually a breeze. Great food stalls, craft vendors, and a few fruit and veggie stands, local honey and breads.

nice place to visit when spring starts. variety of foods to eat and items to check out. we like the filipino food, pop corn, patries and bread. my daughter and I did not like the Thai food....walk or jog by the river.....great place to unwind!

I was a little disappointed at how small it was. Only about 10-12 vendors for a holiday weekend and half were just small food/drink stands with few options. The venue was beautiful and clean, and there was a live band that was decent.

If you live in Jax and have complained about the lack of local businesses showcasing their wares, you owe it to yourself to pay RAM a visit. Constantly changing vendors with something new to discover each week.

Bryan Collins

RAM has a variety of cool vendors and a fantastic food court. The bands are great and its free to attend. Its always shaded and dry under the Fuller Warren Bridge so anytime is a good time to spend the day there.

If you are visiting Jacksonville, or if you are a resident, their are few better ways to spend a few hours on Saturday morning. There is always a great mix of vendors, and enough variety that we visit often.

Wide open market. A little of everything, lots of food , produce, and trendy market style meats, cheeses, breads, eggs etc. under a bridge so breezy and shaded. Relaxing fun . Great for kids . MANY MANY DOGS

A great place to spend a Saturday. Awesome local vendors sharing their art. Music as you stroll around. Food vendors selling yummy treats. A farmers market as well. Try the kettle corn...its amazing!

Cyberstorm Fox

A great shopping, dining and entertainment experience every Saturday. There was a nice selection of local arts and crafts vendors and tasty food, such as Deep Fried Cheese Balls, that were memorable.

Justin Deye

This is a great communal gathering of local artists and a great spot to grab a bite to eat. Youll usually find something interesting to purchase whether is handmade crafts or local delicacies.

Great way to spend a few hours on Saturday. The location is ideal, shaded under the bridge with the breeze coming off the river, and the live entertainment lineups are usually pretty good.

Susan Donnelly

Wonderful outdoor covered venue. Arts, crafts, and food. There is a huge variety of goods offered and the vendors there change from week to week. Fun entertainment and dog friendly.

Stephen Hardy

Its fun to go to, its interesting. it does get crowded around lunchtime. food choices are good. sometimes you would get attached to a vendor and then they would stop showing up.

Craig Sauls

Plenty of very friendly vendors selling their crafts & a lot of good food to choose from along with several good bands playing. My first trip here for 2017. Ill be back soon.

Jessica Gerard

Wonderful selection of local food and art. Its a great place to find a perfect gift or to just browse and have a quick lunch by the river. Perfect way to spend a Saturday.

Mark Haney

Fantastic selection of ever hung you would expect from an Arts/Farmers market. Everyone is friendly and everything is priced fairly. Great prepared food selection as well.
