DTJax Gala Downtown Jacksonville

DTJax Gala: Under Construction

Thank you for joining us at the 10th Annual DTJax Gala: Under Construction! Together, we celebrated Downtown Jacksonville’s growth while raising funds for PlacemakingJax 2025 initiatives.

This year, guests embraced the theme by dressing in their best construction-inspired attire. The evening’s highlights included live music by MAG!C RAD!O, captivating art displays by Lana Shuttleworth, a thought-provoking human library experience facilitated by PlacemakingJax, and unique fashion elements presented by KollectJax. Guests also enjoyed delicious bites from Downtown favorites like SoulFULL Eats, Hungry Owl, Mixed Fillings Pie Shop and Happy Grilled Cheese, accompanied by drinks from Manifest Distilling.

We appreciate your support and look forward to building an even brighter future for Downtown Jacksonville!

About PlacemakingJax

Proceeds from the annual 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.
