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 or to meet Santa Claus. In the spring, enjoy the Cathedral Festival, Old Town Arts and Crafts Show, and the Easter parade. Watch as fireworks light up the summer sky on the 4th of July in historic downtown as well as on New Year’s Eve at St. Augustine Beach. 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.
