JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The remodeled Friendship Fountain will be reopening very soon. Thursday night, News4JAX captured video of workers testing the fountain -- the lights, dancing water and music were spectacular!
We’ve learned the attraction will reopen to the public on February 15, as part of the third Thursday Sip and Stroll event on the Southbank Riverwalk.

Mayor Donna Deegan is planning to push the button to begin the fountain synchronization with music. The fountain is in its final testing phase after renovations and the fencing around it is starting to come down.
