ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — The City of St. Augustine will kick off its Nights of Lights season Saturday.
The City’s Communications Director, Melissa Whissel, says the light-up night ceremony was canceled last year due to COVID-19.
“The ceremony was canceled in 2020 while we had the lights we did not have our annual kick-off event,” Whissel said. “We’re very excited to bring back our traditional performances with the dance troop the orchestra and gazebo and the lighting ceremony at 6:30.”
