Night of lights st augustine 2022 tickets

The City of St. Augustine's spectacular holiday lights display returns this year, November 19 through the end of January. The best way to experience the Nights of Lights and get the best views is to park at the Historic Downtown Parking Facility, adjacent to the St. Augustine Visitor Information Center at 10 S Castillo Drive, and enjoy the displays by strolling the city's Old World Streets, taking a horse and carriage ride, or by boarding one of the many special holiday tour vehicles.

Since the lights burn bright every night, many have discovered a more leisurely pace by visiting the city midweek when many lodging establishments offer reduced rates, wait times at restaurants are less, and traffic and parking are less of a challenge.
