A Program of Riverside Avondale Preservation (RAP) the Riverside Arts Market celebrates the arts and our Northeast Florida community.

The Haunted Brewery will include a zombie apocalypse interactive experience throughout the brewery, produced by Jacksonville Haunts. The experience will resemble laser tag, but the goal will be to shoot the zombies who have taken over the brewery. A team of 10 players will go through the zombie apocalypse every three minutes. The Haunted Brewery festivities will include an art exhibit, food trucks, live music, zombie paintball shooting outside of the brewery and more.
