Lightner Museum: Summer Market

On Friday, July 3, 2026, from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m., the Lightner Museum invites the public to shop for locally made products at their "Pool Party Market." Held in the former pool and the mezzanine upstairs, the craft show blends a bit of fun into the shopping, with contests, a photo booth, and models wearing swimwear from the late 1800s. 

Vendors showcase their goods and foodstuffs, so you can purchase items that include original art, cupcakes, leather goods, honey, candles, pottery, and soaps. From St. Augustine's iconic food treats to fiber crafts and original photographs, you can find a wide variety of goods, spirits, and treats—all made in Northeast Florida.

In addition to the shopping, one or more artists create as you watch, Tone Vendor spins music on their turntables, and Kookaburra offers cold brew and lemonade at their stand. The whole family will enjoy perusing the vendors' wares and participating in fun, pool-themed activities, including face painting, a photo booth, and a chance to win prizes. 

The museum store stays open late for this event. Shop for souvenirs, or for your own pleasure, and enjoy a lovely evening at the Lightner.
