Millions of white lights create a magical holiday atmosphere in the Nation’s oldest city during the annual Nights of Lights, named one of the top ten holiday light displays in the world by National Geographic.
The 29th annual Nights of Lights festival returns on November 19, 2022!
Historic downtown St. Augustine becomes a dazzling winter wonderland with three million lights accentuating our amazing Spanish architecture from the Plaza de la Constitucion to the bayfront until January 31, 2023.
Enjoy a stroll at your own pace or let our local trains, trolleys, and boats take you on a tour for the most magical views.
The city's highly-anticipated, top-rated annual light festival has historic roots.
Nights of Lights traces its origins back to the Spanish tradition of placing a lit candle in the window during the holiday season. Today, the city honors its heritage with three million lights casting a warm white glow reminiscent of a flickering candle all over the brick-lined streets and iconic architecture.
This event is free and open to the public every day.
