There are always wonderful things going on in the old city of St. Augustine—pirate invasions, British and Spanish soldiers of old parading through the streets, weapons demonstrations, festivals, and all kinds of celebrations.
In spending so much time there doing research for The St. Augustine Trilogy, I’ve been involved in many such events and loved every minute of it. It’s my turn now to share information on those happenings and spread the wealth of enjoyment even further.
Listed below by month are most of the larger, annual events in St. Augustine that will link you into further details. I won’t give exact dates because they change from year-to-year.
But first, let me offer you a connection to the most current information and single events that may only by offered once:
