In celebration of the holiday season and Nights of Lights, the Ximenez-Fatio House Museum teams up with the St. Augustine Art Association to present festive displays on the historic property's fireplace walls. The 2025/26 season's theme celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The decorated mantle commemorates one or more of the five ethnic groups living in Florida before and during the American Revolution. 

The decorations are on display from November 15, 2025, through January 5, 2026. The museum is open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

The Ximenez-Fatio House was built during St. Augustine's Second Spanish Period and houses period-appropriate collections and furnishings.

Except for the theme and the dates, the admission listed is for the 2024/25 event. We will post the new information as soon as it becomes available.
