It was very beautifully decorated this Christmas and just had the most amazing Christmas tree and holiday vibe throughout the entire Mall, we had a lot of fun not just Christmas shopping but being able to experience the whole Christmas "je ne sais quoi" at the Avenues, and it was just very warming this year!!!😁

It's the holidays! School is out! Adults are still shopping! Teenagers are hanging! Snow bells are ringing! And most importantly the food court is Banging❣️

Not only is it a nice large mall with all the mall things you'd expect, it's also home to the best monthly auto meet in the Jacksonville area (by far)! Family friendly and safe. Every second Saturday morning 7:30am to about 9:30am you can catch literally hundreds of the most awesome vehicles in the region. ALWAYS many exotics, muscle, classics & antiques, Japanese tuners, strong Mercedes and Porsche groups showings, motorcycles of all types, etc. It's a great clean mall, but THE CAR SHOWS.... ❤️
