7 DAY ITINERARY

1 Assuming today is Saturday, it’s a great time to hit the Riverside Arts Market in Downtown. Check out the art, crafts and fresh foods in the renovated space under the Fuller Warren Bridge in Riverside. Eat an early lunch at one of the food carts.
2 After the Art Market, you can walk to the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens. Take your time in the European section to appreciate the Old Masters, then head outside to stroll the gardens and take in the panoramic view of the St. Johns River.
3 From the Cummer, head east into downtown and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). Spend the rest of the afternoon here, or if you want, breeze through and then head for nearby Jacksonville Landing for drinks before dinner.
