For 30 years, St. Augustine has helped families celebrate the Christmas season with one of the most highly-acclaimed, citywide light displays in Florida. In fact, it has been listed among the top ten holiday light displays in the world by National Geographic!
Twinkling lights fill the trees, highlight storefronts, and line the downtown buildings. Light Up the Night runs nightly from November 18th to January 28th, so you have plenty of time to make a visit down south. While it’s a bit of a drive down to St. Augustine for those in the Panhandle, it’s still close enough for a day trip or a weekend visit. Locals and tourists can view the magnificent lights by taking a tour on foot, by trolley, boat, golf cart, or a horse-drawn carriage ride.
The top two spots to visit for the best views and photos are: 1. The Plaza de la Constitución and 2. The Bridge of Lions. Visit the official Night of Lights website for more information including their free park & ride shuttle, special events, and more.
