Nights of Lights (November 17-January 31)
During Nights of Lights, St. Augustine glows with holiday magic - from
the ground to the rooftops. Known as one of the best holiday lighting
displays in the world, St. Augustine’s Night of Lights features millions
of tiny white lights that create a magical atmosphere in the nation’s
oldest city. Tracing its origins to the Spanish tradition of displaying
a white candle in the window during the Christmas holidays, the
spectacular lighting reflects the city’s history and illuminates the
beautiful setting for lasting holiday memories. www.nightsoflights.com
