3. Leanne Lee, Home + Garden Trendsetter of the Year - Last year Leanne Lee beat out all other home and garden bloggers to be named Marketplace Event's Home + Garden Trendsetter of the Year. Through her informative and fun presentations, Leanne is determined to inspire audiences to incorporate DIY and recycled items into their home decor arsenal.

4. Keep Calm & DIY - Back by popular demand, Chris "The DIY Guy" Tice returns with project demos four times daily, showing guests how to take and upcycle items into fun household pieces that will save them space.
5. Calling All Foodies! - Guests can take in daily cooking classes from the area's top chefs on the Jacksonville Magazine Cooking Stage. Chefs include Dennis Chan of Blue Bamboo, Celestia Mobley of Potter's House Soul Food Bistro, Tom Gray of Moxie Food and Cocktails, and many more! Also returning this year is the popular Food Truck Rally, located in the Courtyard on Sunday, March 8th.
6. Furniture for a Cause - The Jacksonville Home + Patio Show's charity partner is The ARC Jacksonville with their Transformabilities program and line of upcycled furniture.
