Changing of the Guard
The Florida Historic Militia will present a traditional Changing of
the Guard. Soldiers guarding the town are dismissed for the
night, and their replacements arrive to take over guarding the
Government House. The retiring soldiers are ordered to clear their
weapons with the command of “Disparen!” The resounding blast
of musket fire assures 18th century St. Augustine that the changing
of the guard has taken place and the town is safe for the night. The
Changing of the Guard is from 6:16 to 7:15 p.m. at the Government
House on St. Augustine’s Plaza de la Constitucion. Following the
program, the militia will retreat to the Taberno del Caballo where
they will be released to their families. 48 King St. 904-834-1540
