About the 2026 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.
