St. Augustine is a dream to visit on any good day, but especially during the holidays!
NIGHTS OF LIGHTS
Celebrating 29 Years
Every evening from November 19, 2022 to January 29, 2023
Nights of Lights has been listed among the top ten holiday light displays in the world by National Geographic. During this festival of lights, downtown St. Augustine glows with holiday magic – from the ground to the rooftops. St. Augustine’s Nights of Lights features millions of tiny white lights that create a magical atmosphere in the Nation’s Oldest City, and it’s free of charge.
Nights of Lights is still on this year! The 2022-2023 Nights of Lights will take place every evening from November 19, 2022 to January 29, 2023.
The festival kicks off with Light-Up! Night on November 19 at 6 p.m. The City of St. Augustine is offering a Free Park & Ride Shuttle on select days during the Nights of Lights Season. Multiple pick up and drop off locations available.
White lights drape the city’s unique Spanish Colonial architecture and glow from the downtown sidewalks to the rooftops, over the Bridge of Lions, along historic buildings, public spaces, hotels, restaurants, and inns throughout approximately 20 blocks of the Nation’s Oldest City’s historic district.
The top two spots to visit for the best views and Nights of Lights selfies are:
1. The Plaza de la Constitución
Get the perfect holiday selfie in front of the Christmas tree in the center of the plaza.
2. The Bridge of Lions
Walk the bridge to gaze back at the sparkling reflection of the lights along the water.
There is plenty of daily parking at the St. Augustine Historic Downtown Parking Facility, and overnight guests are provided with parking at Inns and hotels. On the weekends, in order to accommodate larger crowds, The City of St. Augustine offers additional satellite parking with free Park and Ride shuttle on peak dates during Nights of Lights, starting on Light-Up! Night, Saturday, November 19. Free Park & Ride shuttle service will be available on Friday and Saturday of Thanksgiving Weekend (November 25 & 26), the first three Saturdays in December, and the five days following Christmas, Monday, December 26 through Friday, December 30.
