Friday Nights in September Dedicated to Local Music, Arts, Culture and Community in downtown Jacksonville

(August 2016) Jacksonville’s most unique festival for local music, arts, culture and community returns for the 4th year to be held at Hemming Park, September 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30, from 7 p.m.–10 p.m.

Showcasing some of the best bands in Jacksonville and an energetic crowd of community support, FNL creates a space for music lovers to engage with performers through crowd voting. From jazz to pop, rock to country, all genres are welcome to perform. Weekly winners receive studio time with Bryce Professional Studio Engineer, and a chance to win the grand finale prize of $1,000.

In addition to the bands, FNL continues its tradition of giving back to the community with Friday Night Live Gives Back Silent Auction. The proceeds from the silent auction benefit Yoga 4 Change, a non-profit using the teachings and practices of yoga to transform the lives of veterans, incarcerated individuals, youth and those who suffer from substance abuse.

Radio sponsors 93.3 The Beat and V101.5 will be onsite each night along with The Coastal, an online magazine that provides stories of the past, present and future of the First Coast Area. YWH Network photographers will capture all the fun moments of the festival.

The 4th Annual Friday Night Live! Music Festival takes the audience on an expedition to “experience, engage and express” with the multicultural elements of the event. Additional details about FNL can be found on Facebook at facebook.com/fridaynightlivemusicfestival, Instagram and Twitter: @fnljax.
