The Jax Melanin Market is excited to collaborate for UNF Market Day during Black History Month.

​

Join us on campus, at the University of North Florida, as we bring out Food Trucks, DJs, and a variety of vendors to celebrate Black History Month.

​

This is a fantastic opportunity for the UNF community to experience a wide selection of products and services, learn about small businesses in the Jacksonville area, and engage with fellow Ospreys.

For vendors, Market Days is a chance to promote your business or products in a fun and interactive way while connecting with thousands of members of the UNF community.
