Deck The Chairs, Inc

Wonderfully festive and wholesome for the entire family. Community art at its finest right there at the Beach! Patience is the key, lots of people want their photos just like you do, and not all remember their manners... Just breath and enjoy the season with these amazing lights and conservation displays.

Always a good family time. I look forward to what the schools and art classes come up with and added education to recycling. Parking can be a pain depending on the time you go, we went around 630 and had to roam the parking lot for someone leaving but around 730 when we left, I saw plenty of spots. Choose your time wisely if you don't have patience 😉

12/19/24 The first night of our trip, we decided to go see the Deck the Chairs exhibition to get into that Christmasy mood in Jacksonville. It was around 11pm after we had dinner. We drove over to the area and found parking very easily. There is no charge for this exhibition. It is the size of a couple of short blocks to walk around in. It is well kept up with paved sidewalks. There were lots of families walking around at that time and it is well lit up so we were not scared to be out there. We found it relaxing and fun. There were nice exhibits that would appeal to all ages. We would go see it again next time we are in that area.

I've lived in Jacksonville since 2012, and this is the first time I've visited Deck the Chairs. It was rainy and cold, but I still wanted to go, so, off the family went! Finding street parking is a chore, however, there is a lot for public parking, right next to the display, and it's FREE!!! Lots of decorated beach chairs with colorful decor and lights! Nice animations and creative displays from various agencies and schools by students. I think we spent a total of 20 minutes walking around because the kiddies were complaining about being cold (they were both forewarned to wear coats, but teens think hoodies and layers are good for every cooler temps, not when the sun goes down!) Anyway, here are the pictures from the display. Enjoy and yes, because of my love of Christmas, I will come back again to see more chairs!
