St. Augustine Nights of Lights runs nightly from late November (after Thanksgiving) through January 31. St. Augustine's Nights of Lights 2022-2023 is celebrating 29 years of bringing joy to our community and visitors. Nights of Lights is only made possible by dozens of individual participating businesses who light up their homes and businesses which draws more than one million visitors annually from around the world.
Once a year when the air turns cool and fills with the tinkling of silver bells, St. Augustine transforms after sunset into a romantic enclave with an ethereal glow. From the massive branches of moss-covered oaks to the angled roofs with Spanish tiles, tiny white lights stitch together the city of St. Augustine, highlighting every detail of the town’s unique beauty. You haven’t experienced St. Augustine until you’ve ridden along the cobblestone streets in a horse-drawn carriage beneath that soft glow.
This year’s Nights of Lights celebration will begin after sundown on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. At approximately 6:30 p.m., the annual Light Up Ceremony will culminate with the official flipping of the switch, igniting over three million lights city wide. Named by AAA as one of the 12 best places in the U.S. and Canada to experience Christmas cheer, this is an event you can’t afford to miss.
Following the lighting ceremony, the 1740 color guard will escort the mayor and his guests to the annual Holiday Lightning Gala inside the historic Lightner Museum. This special event includes dinner, dancimg and silent auction.
Light Up Night is one of the most special evenings in St. Augustine each year, we hope you’ll be able to join us for the festivities! If not, the lights will remain lit through January 31st, giving you plenty of time to make your plans for a special visit!

The only collaboration between golf’s greatest legends, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, the King & Bear is set among pristine lakes, beautiful loblolly pines, and stately oak trees. Each hole contains design characteristics from both Palmer and Nicklaus to create a unique layout.
Measuring 7,279 yards from the back and 5,119 yards from the forward tees, the course can challenge the most avid golfers while providing player-friendly conditions for beginners. The front nine is an open, links-style layout that gives a nod to the heritage of the historic city of nearby St. Augustine. The back nine is more traditional Florida golf fringed with loblolly pines, 200-year-old oak trees, indigenous coquina rock, and numerous water features. So enamored was Arnold Palmer with the course he helped design, he selected the 15th hole as one of his “Dream 18,” in Sports Illustrated’s Preview to The Ryder Cup in 2006. The King & Bear was also named to Golf Digest’s list of the 2015 Top Public Courses in Florida. The layout was also selected to Golf Magazine’s 2016–2017 list of the Best Courses You Can Play in Florida.
Since its inception in 2000, the King & Bear has hosted the Legends of Golf, a PGA Tour Champions event, the Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf match between Palmer and Nicklaus; and Qualifying Schools for the PGA Tour and PGA Champions Tour. It’s a world class venue, literally right in your back yard.

Pets are not permitted on beaches or playgrounds, or in bathing areas, cabins, park buildings or concession facilities. Individual parks may have specific areas prohibiting pets.
Park areas will be evaluated, as to the suitability of pets, on a periodic basis as part of the unit management planning process. Areas of the park designated as prohibited for pets shall be determined based on park natural and cultural resources, primary recreational activities, camper and pet health and safety, geographical location and layout of camping areas, and the ability to provide a quality recreational experience for all visitors.
