Springfield Preservation and Revitalization is celebrating 904 Day by supporting our local businesses and inviting you to #ShopSpringfield.
The Springfield Historic District is the oldest neighborhood in the City of Jacksonville, just north of Downtown. The charm of the Historic District and wonderful local businesses make Springfield a must-see destination in Jacksonville. Many of our small business owners live in Springfield and chose Springfield to be the home of their business too. Perfect for walking or biking, tourists and visitors alike can spend the day exploring the neighborhood while supporting local. Here are a few of our recommendations to get you started:
- Start your day off with a coffee or pastry from 1748 Bakehouse or Artessence.
- Then spend the day shopping at Ashanti Boutique & Emporium, The Block Skate Supply, or Jacksonville’s largest rock shop, Meta Earth.
- If you’re looking for a new experience, try The Cove Social Club, treat yourself at Kindred Salon & Mercantile, throw some axes at Stumpy’s Hatchet House or explore the outdoor vendors at The Underground Events & Eatery.
- For dinner, check out one of Yelp’s Top 100 Restaurants in the U.S. at Wafaa and Mike’s Cafe.
- Enjoy the incredible murals and a meal at Tulua Bistro.
- Grab a slice at the newly relaunched Cripsy’s 2.0.
- For a more upscale Mediterranean experience, book a reservation at Othello.
- Cool off with a frozen treat from Icecapade!
Whether you’ve lived in Jacksonville your entire life, or are just passing through, be sure to stop by Springfield to experience the charm for yourself.
