We partnered with local attractions and organizations to join us and help give away some wonderful prizes while celebrating one of our best years for tourism yet. If you missed the celebration, be sure to read the local news coverage and stop by our Visitor’s Center to learn more about our services.
JAX IN THE NEWS - Our Communications department hosted Orlando-based writer Karen LeBlanc to experience the holidays in Jacksonville.
