What can we say, we throw one heck of a party. Some say it's the "best" of the year. Returning for our seventh year in a row, the 2010 Best of Jacksonville Party was January 28 at MOCA Jacksonville. This year's event featured all the elements you love—great food provided by two dozen top local restaurants, terrific cocktails and wine, groovy music, the Jax Mag party photo booth and fun with about 700 of your "best" friends.

In addition, we spiced things up this year with a Marilyn Monroe-themed After Party, featuring two DJs, an Elvis tribute band and other fun stuff.

Plus, just like last year, the Best of Jacksonville Party kicked off our annual Cover Model Search.
