Seasonal Events

Celebrate the season with festive events throughout the year.

Celebrate wintertime by taking the family on a holiday-themed tour of the Nights of Lights, meeting Santa Claus, and ringing in the New Year with Fireworks on the Beach. In the spring, enjoy the Cathedral Festival, Old Town Arts and Crafts Show, and the Easter parade. Summer in St. Augustine offers fewer active events, more time on the beach, and a chance to visit our attractions. Watch as fireworks light up the summer sky on the 4th of July. And don't forget fall—the spookiest season around, thanks to Halloween and all the ghosts that live here. The city celebrates every season in style, so there's always something fresh and fun to do.
