There is so much history, art, and culture here and few inside and outside of Jacksonville know about it. We want to bring out the positive and allow people to see Jacksonville through a broader lens.”

DREAMWEEK JAX is a one-of-a-kind, multi-dimensional, multi-day event that provides an increasingly rare opportunity for cross-sector communication and community engagement. It includes everything from engaging community events, unique partnerships, a DREAMTelling Event (watch out TEDx), and an outstanding DREAMWEEK SUMMIT.
