St. Augustine, Fla. (Oct. 26, 2017) – Holiday light displays may be one of your favorite parts of the holiday season. And after a visit to Florida’s Historic Coast during Nights of Lights, the nation’s oldest city will be at the top or your list every year. St. Augustine’s Nights of Lights sparkles from the sidewalks to the rooftops with more than 3 million white lights from November 18, 2017, through January 31, 2018. This city-wide light display has been listed among the top ten holiday light displays in the world by National Geographic. And for good reason. Draping the city’s unique Spanish Colonial architecture, beautiful bed & breakfast inns and places on the National Historic Register with a warm white glow makes the Christmas season’s Nights of Lights unique by any standard.
