Here is our guide to the Night of Lights in St. Augustine:
You’ll know the holidays are in full swing when the St. Augustine Nights of Lights kicks off in late November. This year, the 28th annual Light Up! Night will be held on November 20th, complete with a live performance from the All Star Orchestra. Throughout the months of December and January, visitors to St. Augustine can admire the glittering displays throughout historic downtown. Some of the best spots to see the lights include Flagler College, the Plaza de la Constitución, and St. George Street!
Take a Tour of the St. Augustine Lights
If you think the only one way to see the Nights of Lights displays is on foot, then think again! Hop aboard the Old Town Trolley or Ripley’s Red Train to see the historic downtown St. Augustine from the comfort of festive transportation! A ride on the trolley to train enhances the Nights of Lights with Christmas carols, music, and glasses that add a touch of magic to the night!
Make it a Romantic Evening
Visitors can also see the lights twinkle from the water. These boat tours make for a perfect romantic evening for couples looking to have a quiet evening watching the lights illuminate from the water. For even more romance, head to one of the many fine-dining establishments nestled within the historic district of downtown. Walk among the lights before stopping at a restaurant to toast to each other and enjoy a delicious meal!
Explore the St. Augustine Pub Scene
During the Nights of Lights festivities, four local St. Augustine pubs put on a special to invite visitors to try local brews! For those visitors of legal age who purchase a Nights of Lights t-shirt, they will also receive a punch card to receive a free seasonal pint from four local brewpubs from the Ancient City Brewing Downtown Taproom, Bog Brewing Company, Dog Rose Brewing, and Old Coast Ales.
