Artesian Market at YSG
Zone 5 City Commissioner Dannette Henry initiated a new monthly Artisan Market at the YSG Cultural & Educational Center. Set in the center’s courtyard, the market featured homemade, homegrown, and handcrafted items, including fresh produce, baked goods, vibrant plants and flowers, and handmade crafts, art and accessories. The inaugural market provided a lively community atmosphere where residents could explore unique finds from local artisans. The city installed new interpretive signage along Daytona Beach’s Black Heritage Trail, made possible by a $50,000 grant from the Florida Department of State’s Division of Historical Resources. The signs mark 18 historic sites and add a 19th stop at the Mary McLeod Bethune statue at the Riverfront Esplanade, highlighting important people, places and events that shaped Daytona Beach and the nation over the past 150 years. The sites include National Register listings, historic buildings, Black churches, a national historic landmark, an archaeological park and key community centers. Each sign features a QR code linking to digital content, providing deeper insight into the city’s Black heritage. The project, originally identified in the Midtown Master Plan, preserves and celebrates Daytona Beach’s rich history while educating and inspiring residents and visitors for generations.
