    Lots of local food vendors, jewelry, clothes, etc! They have a little bit of everything for everyone and since it's under the bridge it doesn't get too hot in the summer months. The views are great and there's music and activities for the whole family. Very dog friendly as well. Highly recommend to the whole fam ^.^

    It has been a minute since I visited RAM. The summer was so hot but today was perfect. The crowd was bustling, the vendors a plenty and it was free Yoga Day. I look forward to cooler weather and a more regular visit to RAM! Riverside Jacksonville deserves frequent visits!

    A new place I love. Free entry, free parking we are off to a great start. I didn't know what to expect. It was more vendors than I expected. I actually walked around the whole market before I bought anything. I loved the micro - greens, they cut them right from the batch that it grew out of. I got a large flat, with every micro green they had. They said some were spicy, but I beg to differ. It might be spicy for some, just not me. Also got some boiled spicy peanuts. My son loves them! The Indian food vendor will give you samples. I bought the chic pea Curry (I think that's what it was) and the yellow rice, both were very good. I really wanted to get some Lyon's mane mushrooms, but the price was a bit more than I was willing to spend. But they looked amazing. Its nice to see a place where people that want their own business can get there start.

    Coffee (cannot recall which vendor this was from but it was a super cute set up)

    First time checking it out since we just moved to Florida! Such a fun market! Plenty of vendors and a great variety too. We ended up grabbing a cool children's book series from a local author, some amazing Italian goodies, and dessert from a Greek food truck there. Already planning our next trip back!

    We checked out the 'Riverside Arts Market', a farmers market with lots of vendors. I bought 'Rice Pudding', authentic 'Colombian Empanadas', a 'Latino hot dog', and grape ice. There was live music and so much cool stuff to check out.

    Lots of great vendors and food trucks in one place! Such a cute little market to visit on a Saturday morning. You have to park and walk to get there- but there is a loading and unloading area for those who maybe can't walk as well. That being said, someone would have to drop you off. I always love getting to support local and try new things. This is a great time to do just that! We will definitely be back.

    The best produce in Jax

    Always a great selection of seasonal produce at a reasonable price. SNAP is doubled if you have that which is so lovely. The art, mood, music, and location are wonderful

    Man, you at the food truck in the market

    The market was busy busy when I visited around lunchtime (on a Saturday). There is an accessible parking about one block away. they were a variety of crafts, preserves, food, food trucks, baked goods that should satisfy nearly everyone. One of my favorite stops was the fusion food truck, where they see the variety of Indian styled entries. The market was busy, but not overwhelming, but with a visit.

    One of the best Saturday traditions in Jacksonville! There are a ton of vendors, plenty of options for food and drinks (we like to get a cold brew or iced coffee, especially during the summer), and it's dog-friendly. Agree with some of the other reviews that a few of the vendors are a little pricey, but definitely love supporting small and local businesses. This past weekend I splurged and got: fresh veggies, a reusable sponge, a handful of candles, 2 outfits for my niece, hummus and pita chips, coffee, fresh eggs, dog treats and a carved wooden piece for my grandmother. It was an excellent haul and we had so much fun browsing for the afternoon. Live music, lots of goodies, usually great weather and lots of options for shopping - you really can't beat it!

    When friends visit Jacksonville and ask what there is to do, the RAM is always at the top of the list. I can count on fun vendors, food trucks, live music, and art right on the water, rain or shine!

    RAM never disappoints! I can go every weekend in a month and every time there will somehow be something new I notice every time. A variety of produce, ready to eat food, art, and crafts, all from local and small businesses. Who could complain about that? If you are thinking of going for the first time, my top recommendations are Olive My Pickle and Mixed Fillings Pie shop!

    First time there, had a great time, lots of food, entertainment, and treats. Everybody was having a wonderful time. Plenty of parking.

    But beware that it can be brutally cold, down on the river, in the winter so bring a scarf on a chilly day.

We have a precious…read more(ShihTzu) little girl named Princess who desperately needed to be seen by a VET ASAP because I thought she was having a seizure & have bloodwork done due to something she got into. Frantically I called Gina & to my surprise she started making calls for me. Not only did she help find somewhere affordable to take Princess, but stayed in communication w/me the entire trip as well from beginning to end. Even during the VET'S actual visit, to ensure that we received excellent care @11pm at night. Which we did & Princess was able to come home with/a clean bill of health after the scariest night ever! Without Gina walking me through this, idk what I would have done. It's not often that you call a complete stranger & the person on the other end, ends up being an Angel! Gina words truly cannot express to you what you've done for our family. I will certainly not ever forget & will shout from the rooftops that there is certainly still hope for our pets through folks like YOU. P.s. Pretty sure you'll be wearing a cape when we finally meet! #petitforward #shihtzuluv #angelsindisguise

    Review #900 comes in the form of admiration for the Ronald McDonald House in Jacksonville. I…read morerecently toured the facility for the first time and still have goosebumps from my experience. This non profit charity does not receive any federal or government grants or funding. Contrary to popular belief, it's a completely donation-based organization, which is absolutely stunning, since they currently house 53 families free of charge. Patients and their families come from all around the world to seek medical attention in Jacksonville. When I toured the house, they spoke enthusiastically of a family who recently crossed the pond from Ireland. People might not be talking about this enough, but Jacksonville is home to state-of-the-art medical care. The house is beautiful. There's a courtyard, a full-service kitchen (larger than some restaurants), a pantry, a movie room, a play room, a prayer room, a class room, a covered parking garage, a gorgeous rooftop garden and so much more. On top of that, each employee I've worked with or met in passing has a passion so evident it's contagious. I have to admit there were times during the tour I found myself getting choked up. The mission is clear and they are truly changing lives by providing lodging, food and transportation better than most hotel accommodations. Add to the mix, families at their most stressful only emphasizes the Lord's work they're doing. Love, love, love! I encourage anyone to donate or give back to the Ronald McDonald House.

    Do not come here. I…read moreadopted a 2 month old kitten from here. The day I met him, he was fearful but otherwise seemed healthy. The one thing that stood out was how visibly dirty he was. His fur was matted with grime and dirt. He was a stray, so I assumed he would be cleaned before being sent home with an adopter. I was told to come back in two days because he needed to be neutered. Two days later, I returned to pick him up. While waiting, I sat in front of his cage and watched him throw up. He looked extremely sick. I informed the front desk and decided to come back later. The shelter was closed the next day, so I returned the following morning. He looked even weaker and visibly ill. I assumed he was simply recovering from surgery. I have cared for cats after surgery before and know what normal recovery looks like. What I could not understand was why he was still filthy. He looked exactly as dirty as the day I first met him. He also had a known flea problem, yet he looked like he had gone through the entire process without ever being properly prepared for adoption. Seeing him in that condition did not make me feel confident that he was receiving the care I was told he was getting. I was assured the fleas were not a concern and that he was a perfectly healthy kitten who had received all necessary vaccinations and care. I was sent home with him that day. The next morning, my house was infested with fleas. Not a few fleas. They were everywhere. He was constantly itching and being bitten. I found fleas in my kitchen, bathrooms, bedroom, and even my car. I had to treat my entire home while caring for a recently neutered kitten who could not be bathed normally. He suffered because of a problem I was told was not an issue. Within two days of bringing him home, everything went downhill. He stopped eating. Then he stopped drinking. Then he stopped moving. He would stand unsteadily, lower his head toward the ground, and remain there completely unresponsive. I remembered being told to bring him back if anything went wrong after surgery, so I did exactly that. Instead of receiving help, I was told these issues were not pre-existing conditions and that I needed to take him to a veterinarian. So I did. The veterinarian was appalled that he had been allowed to go home. The exam revealed a 104 degree fever, severe dehydration, infection, mild anemia, and neurological symptoms, including seizures. Seizures. In a 2 month old kitten I had adopted less than a week earlier. I spent $255 on the exam and bloodwork alone, and he needed even more treatment than I could provide. That not including the 30 dollar flea treatment for my home and the Capstar medication worth 43 that I bought. This should never have happened. When I brought the veterinary records back to the shelter, I expected concern, accountability, or at least an explanation. Instead, I got excuses. The person assigned to speak with me repeatedly explained that she was not a veterinarian and could not answer many of the medical questions I was asking. That left me wondering why she was handling a complaint involving a critically ill kitten who had just been adopted out. The final conversation left me disgusted. I was told I could either pay for treatment myself or surrender him. I chose to surrender him because he clearly needed more medical care than I could provide. Almost immediately after signing the paperwork, I was told, "Just so you know, if we can't help him, we're going to euthanize him." I had spent the previous week trying to save this kitten, paying veterinary bills and treating my home for fleas, only to be told that surrendering him might mean he dies. When I asked why he had been sent home with me in the first place, I was told they did not have the neurological resources necessary to identify conditions they could not immediately see. I could have been told he needed additional monitoring before being adopted out. Instead, he was sent home while suffering from anemia, infection, dehydration, fleas, and seizures. I was also told it was better for him to be in my home because the shelter had too many animals to closely monitor them all. That statement alone says everything. He was adopted out before anyone knew or bothered to find out how serious his condition was. Anemia. Fleas. Dehydration. Infection. Seizures. What a memorable adoption experience. Instead of focusing on moving as many animals through the system as possible, make sure the animals being adopted are healthy enough to survive the process. The lack of concern shown throughout this entire situation was shocking. Disgusting disregard and recklessness of the wellbeing of a helpless animal. I have attached photos from the day I brought him home and videos from my final day with him. Yes they're unnecessary and should be private, but words alone do not show what me and the poor guy had to go through. My boy deserved better. "Humane society." How ironic.
