The first-ever Jacksonville Mural Festival brought color, creativity, and community to the expanding Rail Yard District on Saturday.

The National Mural Awards has invited three nationally recognized muralists to the First Coast to paint alongside local artists for the first ever Jacksonville Mural Festival. The event, which will be held January 22-25th, 2025 promises to add color to the growing Rail Yard District, and help highlight the economic growth happening in the area with events throughout the festival.

With its cool building art and businesses nearby, on the surface, the city’s Rail Yard District gives off a hip, urban vibe.
