2024 Luminaria Festival

REGISTRATIONS BEGIN OCTOBER 1, 2024

Celebrate Riverside Avondale Preservation Luminaria Night with a party at the Garden Club of Jacksonville and luminaria tours by Go Tuk’n. Take in the view of the luminaria from the front lawn of the Garden Club while you listen to holiday music, sip a beverage, nosh on small bites, and play lawn games.

The holidays are a perfect time to show your commitment to the environment and support for small businesses. Peruse our pop-up shop of vendors that sell homegrown or handmade items. Visit vendors selling plants, garden-produced goods, honey, artwork, jewelry, handcrafts, and much more.

Free and open to the public
