St Augustine loves any chance for a celebration, and the Christmas season is tops on the list. In late November, the city remembers the Spanish tradition of lighting a single white candle during the holiday season by stringing millions of tiny white lights throughout the city, along the Bayfront, and across the Bridge of Lions. When all is ready and the Big Moment arrives, the city glows with an essence that can rekindle the hope of miracles everywhere.
National Geographic named St Augustine’s Nights of Lights as one of the Top 10 places in the world for holiday light festivity. Wanna see for yourself? Go here.
Nights of Lights will continue through the end of January. This is a wonderful time to visit St Augustine. The tiny white lights make the city even more magical than usual, and a stroll along the Bayfront can be quite romantic.
Nights of Lights has always been one of my favorite times to visit the city. I didn’t get down there before Christmas this year, so my good friend Diana Brummer of Paris in Spring ’98 was kind enough to share her photos with me.
You can see all of Diana’s Nights of Lights photos here.
