Every year, the nation's oldest city is adorned with over two million twinkling white lights for "Nights of Lights." This unique spectacle has been named by National Geographic as one of the top 10 places to see holiday lights in the world. This year, "Light Up! Night"- the official opening ceremony will take place in the Plaza de la Constitucion the weekend of our wedding! Guests may enjoy the sights by horse and carriage, trolley tours, private water tours, or just roaming the old cobblestone streets. We hope that you take advantage and enjoy the beauty of St. Augustine during this special time of year!
