Scenic Visions 2025: Spotlight on Mayport Village
Scenic Jacksonville is pleased to continue the popular Scenic Visions series into 2025. This year, we are partnering with Mayport Waterfront Partnership, and our program will highlight the uniqueness of Mayport Village, located at the mouth of the St. Johns River. The program is a three-part series to shine the spotlight on historic Mayport’s working waterfront, history, cultural gems, eco-tourism and opportunities for growth and revitalization.
The program on Mayport follows the successful “Spotlight on Arlington” held in Spring 2024, which featured a boat tour, trolley tour, and panel discussion at Jacksonville University.
Sponsorships are available. Please contact Nancy Powell at
