JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Dozens came together at Lonnie Miller Park in Jacksonville Sunday for a peace festival hosted by the Northside Coalition. The goal is to reduce violence and promote peace in their neighborhoods. The first event like this one was held in 1973, and the Northside Coalition has resurrected it to challenge the norm of gun violence in the city. The peace festival comes just days after the Mayor gave an update on efforts to curve murders in Jacksonville. Frazier said the purpose was for all people to come together for one purpose to celebrate peace in the city.
