The Wood Carving Dude. Jett Paxton is a 14-year-old local of Amelia Island who began wood carving just two years ago.

According to the late comedian and actor, Robin Williams, "Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!'" Well, spring has sprung, and the birds are singing! Amelia Island is packed with people on spring break simply here to have a good time and make happy memories. No matter the season, you will always find a happy crowd of people at the Fernandina Beach Market Place farmer's market. Open every Saturday, historic Fernandina has been home to the market on North Seventh Street for many years where locals and visitors alike walk or ride their bikes into town for a stroll in this outdoor shopping extravaganza.

Open from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., rain or shine, you will find soaps, candles, seasonal vegetables, wild caught shrimp, blooming floral baskets, hot sauces, a vegan baker, prepared meals, and that is just a hint of what is in the farmers side of the Market Place.
