Holidays

Fun and informative articles help you celebrate holidays all year long.

Since the first mass of Thanksgiving with Pedro Menéndez de Avilés on September 8, 1565, St. Augustine has celebrated all the holidays. We like fireworks, parties, special food and drink, and elaborate displays. Our city has three major parades. We also like writing about them. Here, you'll find fun information about all things Night of Lights, our quirky Easter Parade, and other holiday fun, so you can plan ahead and make it a season to celebrate.
