Be seen making a scene downtown at the July Pool Splash Parties! On Thursday, July 31 there’s a Rooftop Pool Deck party - a pool party without the splash, because swimming in the pool is not allowed. Yes, I know, that sounds a bit odd, but think about this. It’s a party at the Omni Jacksonville Hotel rooftop pool deck, so you can see the whole city from here. That is pretty cool. And admission is free.
Live entertainment featuring The Ron Perry Connection, drink specials, food, giveaways and fun.
Drink Specials $1-$5
Food Specials $1
-Ahi tuna sliders, wasabi truffle Aioli, arugula and tomato
-Mini beef sliders with lettuce, tomato, red onion and cheese
-Old Bay seasoned chips
