Downtown Vision told Action News Jax it’s not a funding issue.

“We’re taking the summer off to take time to plan and be intentional about growing Sip & Stroll. The event footprint is much bigger with the reopening of Friendship Fountain, and we want to deliver the highest possible caliber of experience for the community. We look forward to coming back bigger and better in September,” a Downtown Vision spokesperson said.
