DreamWeek JAX

DreamWeek JAX is a page for Jacksonville and the greater Florida First Coast Community to post events happening in and around the area in recognition of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Dr. Martin Luther King Day of Service, and national holiday.

DREAMWEEK JAX 2019 will occur from January 18 – 26, 2019 with a mission to showcase Jacksonville Florida as the Dream City of the millennia in culture/diversity, art, business/entrepreneurship, and social progress. This recognition and celebration of Jacksonville’s evolution as a dream city since its founding in 1562 is long overdue.
