About Riverfront Plaza

Riverfront Plaza is a public riverfront park located at 2 W Independent Drive in downtown Jacksonville, offering a large, flexible event lawn rather than a traditional seated venue. Open to the public with a focus on riverfront programming, the space hosts seasonal events like Holiday River Fest and other riverfront celebrations. The site sits on the historic footprint of the former Jacksonville Landing, refreshed for contemporary city events.

Whether you’re planning a family festival, corporate gathering, or community celebration, Riverfront Plaza provides a versatile outdoor setting. While there are no fixed seats, organizers can bring in temporary staging, risers, or bleachers as needed for performances or presentations. We’ve got you covered with practical details on access, parking, transit, and nearby accommodations to help you secure your plans.

Note: Transit services and construction timelines can affect accessibility. Always check local updates for the latest on NAVI and other downtown services.

For guests visiting Riverfront Plaza, nearby hotels offer convenient stays with river views and easy access to the park. We recommend confirming parking options before arrival, as on-site parking is not available at the park. On-street parking is generally available within a few blocks and is free after 6 p.m. on weekdays and on weekends. Several garages are within walking distance for added convenience.

Popular hotel partners nearby include the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront, the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, and the Omni Jacksonville Hotel. These hotels often provide special event rates or packages for guests attending Riverfront Plaza events.
