Riverside Arts Market Holiday Markets & Santa Visits

About this adventure

The Riverside Arts Market transforms its spacious covered open-air venue beneath the canopy of the Fuller Warren Bridge into a bustling holiday wonderland throughout December. Over one hundred local artisans, jewelers, bakers, Florida growers, and craftspeople showcase handmade holiday treasures, children's toys, and seasonal treats. Families can take complimentary holiday photos with Santa Claus, enjoy live musical performances by local youth orchestras and carolers on the riverfront amphitheater stage, and sip hot cocoa while watching boats cruise along the St. Johns River. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Wide, polished concrete flooring under the bridge is completely flat and weather-sheltered, ideal for double strollers, wagons, and wheelchairs. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Riverside amphitheater steps and shaded riverfront park benches provide ample seating; permanent municipal restrooms with baby-changing tables on site. • Age Suitability: Welcoming to all ages, from newborns snuggled in strollers to creative kids, parents, and grandparents. • Sensory Tips: Sheltered from direct rain and sun, with open sides ensuring gentle river breezes; live acoustic performances maintain comfortable, family-friendly volume levels.
