For the sport enthusiast, the downtown area is also the back drop to EverBank Field, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville, where the Florida Marlins Affiliate AA team, The Jacksonville Suns, is also located in the downtown area.
Last, but not least, for the more cultured person, the downtown area also houses the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Main Library.

With 30 to 40 galleries, museums, cultural venues, restaurants, bars and businesses participating each month and dozens of artists in the open air Hemming Plaza, Art Walk is the ultimate opportunity to savor and support Jacksonville’s deep pool of creative talent.
