You`re invited! Join us on Friday, February 27th, at the 11th Annual DTJax Gala: Swamp Soirée! 🐊🍊🍹
Step back in time at the Swamp Soirée, an evening inspired by the mystique and whimsy of vintage Florida, where Spanish moss draped the landscape, alligators were local celebrities, ostrich farms fascinated early tourists and Cassadaga whispered stories of the supernatural.
Join us for live entertainment, lush atmosphere and handcrafted cocktails as we raise funds for @PlacemakingJax, which supports and creates community-driven activations throughout Downtown Jacksonville.
✨ Where: Venue 841
✨ When: Feb. 27, 2026 | 6-10 p.m.
About the 2025 DTJax Gala:
Proceeds from the DTJax Gala benefit the PlacemakingJax placemaking initiative to turn passive spaces into active public places. PlacemakingJax is a highly collaborative process for the people of Jacksonville to engage in the creation of pop-up activations or large-scale interventions in Downtown Jacksonville to transform underused public spaces into celebrated community places. PlacemakingJax is facilitated by Downtown Vision and funded in part by the DTJax Gala held each February. Admission includes an open bar, bites from Downtown favorites, live music and entertainment and more.
Attendance is limited. Find sponsorship opportunities, tickets and more: DTJax.com/gala
Attire: Wear your vintage Florida best and get creative! Think earthy colors, jewel tones and fun textures. But really, anything goes.
Thank You to Our 2026 DTJax Gala Sponsors: @wearewingard, @gateway_jax, Steve & Betsy Crosby, @pncbank, @vystarcreditunion, @jaxdailyrecord and @residentnewsjax.
Happy New Year, Downtown! What are your goals and resolutions for 2026?
We’ve got a good one for you! Get outside and explore DTJax in the fresh air this year. Cruise the Emerald Trail on wheels or by foot or rack up your steps from the Marsh Boardwalk at @riversedgejax all the way down the Southbank Riverwalk 👟🍃
The Marsh Boardwalk offers a front-row seat to Downtown’s natural side. Wind through a thriving marsh ecosystem, spot local wildlife and take in views of the St. Johns River while reconnecting with the environment you’re a part of. It’s the perfect reminder that nature and city life coexist right here in DTJax!
