Join us for the 30th Annual Light Up Night in Saint Augustine. This event marks the beginning of the Nights of Lights holiday season when the entire city is transformed into a winter wonderland with over three million tiny white lights.
The festivities begin at 4:00 PM with a spirited performance by Showtime USA, a high energy song and dance troupe of young people that deliver a wide variety of holiday musical favorites. This performance will be in front of the St. Augustine City Hall and the Lightner Museum at 75 King Street.
Then at 5:30 PM from the historic Plaza de la Constitución Gazebo, the All Star Orchestra takes the stage with great swing and big band sounds all in grand holiday style.
At 6:30 PM, the lighting ceremony begins that culminates with the turning of a switch that fills every corner of the city with brilliant, magical holiday sparkle. Entertainment continues in the Plaza until 7:30 PM as thousands gathered for the lighting ceremony linger in the downtown area to start their holiday shopping, have dinner the company of good friends, or to simply enjoy the beauty of the city in the glow of millions of while lights.
After the lighting ceremony, enjoy the lights and holiday atmosphere as you stroll through the downtown area. You can also take a horse-drawn carriage ride, go on a boat tour, or visit one of the many museums and attractions.
Light Up Night is a free event for all ages and is a great way to start the holiday season as you experience the beauty of Saint Augustine, Florida.
