This holiday event is the perfect beachside festival to enjoy this holiday season. As downtown St. Augustine turns on its lights this year, St. Augustine Beach will also be hosting a ceremonial lighting ceremony. This festive event will include family-friendly activities, food, drink, local vendors as well as a live performance by the St. Augustine Youth Orchestra. Rumor has it Santa will be stopping by as well! So if you want to skip the crowds of downtown this year, head over to the beach where things are just as sparkly.

Admission to the event is free.
