This year’s event boasts headliners like Niko Moon and X Ambassadors. Plus, about 45 vendors and artists will be there to make the event as memorable as possible. Muralists will also be creating live art in real time.“That was my first year being on the team and really getting to see the magic,” said Brooke Edmondson, the director of Events and Community Outreach for 904 Happy Hour. “We had a great event, roughly 15,000 to 16,000 that came out.
Some people might not realize it, but Oktoberfest proceeds help local nonprofits, including the Down Syndrome Association of Jacksonville and Fur Sisters in Jacksonville Beah. “We’ll also have the UNF rugby team out here, helping get stuff loaded in and loaded off,” Edmondson said. “We’re really excited to have an impact, not only in our local community but with our local charities as well.”
The event Friday goes from 5-10 p.m. Saturday’s event begins at noon and goes through 10 p.m. To look at ticket prices or purchase, visit:Bars will be cashless, and some vendors might be as well. Bags will be checked to double up on safety.
