Celebrate the "Spirit of Giving" at Downtown Jacksonville Art Walk which also happens to be the perfect place for last minute, locally-sourced products! #ShopSmall this holiday season. Join us as we partner with the City of Jacksonville, Florida - Government to bring the annual Christmas Tree Lighting to Art Walk! Our spectacular 50 foot tree has been graciously donated by the Sleiman Family in honor of Eli Sr. and Josephine Sleiman. Our beautiful, energy efficient tree boasts 78,000 LED lights,150 ornaments and has been a staple in Downtown Jacksonville’s holiday traditions for the last 32 years.
