Posted by in Events, News

For new or prospective residents, there’s nothing quite as exciting or memorable as your first Nights of Lights festival! Now entering its 30th year, what started as a small business initiative to drive visitation during the slow season is now a globally-recognized phenomenon. Downtown St. Augustine glistens as small businesses, private homes and municipal buildings and structures are draped in millions of white twinkly lights, beginning the Saturday before Thanksgiving through the end of January. We’ve got the best ways to experience this unique festival of lights.

 

Nights of Lights kicks off Saturday, November 18th, with Light Up! Night. Wander through downtown with a warm drink from The Kookaburra Coffee, then join the crowd of excited holiday-goers in the Plaza de la Constitución as the light switch is flipped to kick off the start of the festival. Light Up! is a free event beginning at 6pm. The City of St. Augustine offers a free Park & Ride Shuttle for Light Up! night, and during peak days throughout the Nights of Lights season. Multiple pick-up and drop-off locations are available.

Top Four Music Venues in Northeast Florida

April 20, 2023

 | 
Posted by in Events, News

Locals on the First and Historic Coasts have a secret – over the last decade, it’s become the spot for musical artists wanting an intimate performing space. From smaller local artists to big-name performers, the area from Jacksonville to St. Augustine has become a destination for concert-goers wanting more than a traditional stadium show. So while you’ll still need to travel to Tampa for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, you’ll find the charming and historic venues of Northeast Florida offer an atmosphere all their own.

 

Florida Theater

 

Easily the oldest of the four venues, the Florida Theatre evokes the days of dressing for an evening performance. This historic venue opened in 1927, was added to the National Historic Register of Historic Places in 1983 and still maintains the original Art Deco vibe. The Florida Theatre hosts a wide variety of artists and performers, with something for all ages. Theater pieces like Madagascar, musical greats like Tom Jones and Clint Black, comedians the likes of Jim Gaffigan, specialty shows featuring Alton Brown and Cary Elwes, musical competitions, love recordings of popular podcasts and non-profit programs that offer free summer shows for children – there is literally something for everyone.

 

 

St. Augustine Amphitheatre

 

Lovingly referred to as The Amp by locals, the St. Augustine Amphitheatre may be as unique as they come. Nestled in the crook of one of Florida’s top state parks, Anastasia State Park, and situated on a barrier island, The Amp is an open-air venue, surrounded by the beach, historic oaks and wide swathes of palm hammocks. It offers one-of-a-kind experiences – where else can you enjoy sunrise yoga on the beach, led by Michael Franti, in the morning and enjoy his show in the evening? The Amp also offers two complimentary performing spaces – The Backyard Stage, a general-admission-only space for up-close-and-personal performances, and The Front Porch, a deck for community gatherings and acoustic performances during their Farmers and Night Markets.
