The 2022-2023 Nights of Lights will take place every evening from Nov. 19 to Jan. 31 of next year. Thousands of people are guaranteed to check out the event that brightens 20 blocks of St. Augustine’s historic district.

The festival will kick off with “Light-Up! Night” on Nov. 19 at 6 p.m. The City of St. Augustine is offering free park & ride shuttles on Light-Up! Night, Thanksgiving weekend, the first three Saturdays in December, and during the week between Christmas and New Year’s.
