Luminary Night at St. Augustine Lighthouse

On Tuesday, December 2, 2025, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., the St. Augustine Lighthouse hosts Luminary Night. This family-friendly tradition during St. Augustine's Nights of Lights features more than 2,000 luminaries blanketing the lighthouse grounds in a warm, festive glow.

Lights, holiday decorations, and the luminaries combine for holiday magic. Everyone may join the groups singing Christmas carols and take photos with Santa Claus.
