JACKSONVILLE, FL, UNITED STATES, September 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ --
Jacksonville Quiltfest Coming September 17 – 19

The Jacksonville Quiltfest, judged quilt show, with the theme “Give Piece a Chance,” will be held from September 17-19, 2026, at the Prime Osborn Convention Center, 1000 Water Street, Jacksonville, Florida, from 9 am to 5 pm on Thursday and Friday and from 9 am to 4 pm on Saturday.

Approximately 420 quilts will be on display, and over 50 vendors related to the quilting industry will be on-site. We will be showcasing TRIO, the SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Association) exhibit that reflects both the partnership among the three SAQA states (FL, GA and SC) and the artists’ interpretations of the idea of “three,” whether expressed through structure, rhythm, or narrative.

Patriotic and Quilts of Valor will be especially welcome as we celebrate our country’s 250th birthday, including a presentation of quilts to 10 veterans on Friday afternoon.

There will be opportunities to purchase quilts; try out a longarm machine; stuff hearts for cardiac patients at the local hospitals; sew a quilt block, try out sewing machines; take a picture in the selfie booth, purchase a silent auction item for “V is Victory,” a nonprofit organization that provides critical services to cancer patients; and much more!

The purpose of QuiltFest, Inc. is to preserve the heritage of quilting, be a source of information and inspiration, and perpetuate a high quality of excellence in quilting and related arts, as well as to coordinate and sponsor an annual exhibition of this art form. QuiltFest, Inc. of Jacksonville, Florida, is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization made up of the seven sister guilds in the Jacksonville area who organize and run the QuiltfestJax show.
