Located in San Marco, Creative Grain Studio is owned and operated by a mother-daughter duo, created to provide Jacksonville with a comfortable, creative space away from home to get crafty with their favorite people. With workshops for girls’ nights out, couples night, mom + me, private workshops and more Creative Grain is the place to get the creative juices flowing!
One of Jacksonville’s newest pop shops, Hit Pops, will be on site with their delicious, handmade ice pops! Made from simple, fresh ingredients with no preservatives or additives, their pops come in a variety of flavors from fruity to spicy to suit all taste buds.

The Ginger Breadwoman is a home baker who uses traditional recipes and tried-and-true methods to bring you artisan breads, specialty pies, custom event cakes, and treats for any occasion.
