Top 5 Family-Friendly Events in Jacksonville – And How Hoop Brings the Fun
Jacksonville is packed with events that bring the community together—from waterfront festivals to local markets and family gatherings. If you're planning to attend or host a family-friendly event in Jacksonville, there's one easy way to guarantee the kids (and adults) have an absolute blast: Hoop Jacksonville.
We bring the fun to you with a mobile arcade basketball trailer that’s unlike anything else in town. Here’s how Hoop fits perfectly into Jacksonville’s most-loved local events:
🎡 1. Riverside Arts Market
Held every Saturday under the Fuller Warren Bridge, Riverside Arts Market is a local favorite packed with food trucks, crafts, and live music. But when it comes to kid-friendly entertainment, Hoop Jacksonville is the perfect addition. Our trailer keeps the little ones active and entertained while parents browse vendors or catch a set from a local band.
Why we’re a fit: Quick setup, easy footprint, and we’re completely self-powered—ideal for public events with limited outlets.
⚾ 2. Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp Tailgates & Games
Game day is already exciting, but add a mobile arcade experience and it becomes legendary. Hoop Jacksonville sets up easily in tailgate zones or fan areas, giving families and kids a fun, interactive way to compete before the first pitch.
Why we’re a fit: Great for pre-game hype, family zones, or sponsored activations.
🎃 3. Beaches Oktoberfest & Fall Festivals
