    The event will transform LEVS Park into a tribute to LaVilla’s legacy, spotlighting the historic
    neighborhood’s renewed role and influence in Jacksonville’s cultural landscape.
    Organized by Vibrant Places Collective in partnership with JaxParks and Florida Fish
    Pepper Co., the market will feature a curated mix of vendors, performances, and cultural
    activities highlighting the neighborhood’s creative and entrepreneurial legacy.

    Additional Black History Month Programming at LEVS Park:

    ● Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing Day! Thursday, Feb. 12 | 5-6:30 PM | Celebrates Feb. 12 as
    the first day the song was sung by 500 students at Old Stanton School in Jax.

    The event is free and open to the public.

    Jacksonville is the birthplace of the Great Migration and the Black National Anthem, both
    landmark moments in Black History. We know a lot about the tragedies. And it is equally
    important we celebrate the victories and honor the greatness, much of which was spawned
    nationally from the cultural hub of LaVilla ” said Carla Jones, Facilitator, Vibrant Places
    Collective.

    LEVS Park sits on the former home-site of James Weldon Johnson and J. Rosamond Johnson,
    creators of the renowned song, “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” The Park plans to introduce
    several cultural activations throughout February in honor of Black History Month.
    These events reflect the park’s ongoing commitment to honoring Black history through
    community-centered programming and offer continued opportunities for storytelling, cultural
    engagement, and media coverage throughout the month.
