Downtown Vision Inc. brought the opulence of the Belle Époque to Downtown Jacksonville on Friday, Feb. 23 as they hosted their annual #DTJax Gala. Themed “Duval Rouge,” the glittering event blended Duval decadence with 19th century Bohemian Paris to raise funds for PlacemakingJax. PlacemakingJax helps Jaxsons engage underused public spaces by collaboratively creating pop-up and large-scale activations to bring the community together.

Duval Rouge transformed MOCA Jacksonville into the full splendor of Moulin Rouge’s mystery with captivating entertainment from Ramona + the RIOT and a silent disco with Hush Hush Headphones. The event also featured extravagant bites from local restaurants, a photo booth and silent auction.
