Don’t You Just Love Spring Outdoors?
Now’s the time to plan your Spring getaway for some fun in the sun on Florida’s Historic Coast.
From outdoor concerts to art walks, golf events and boat races, there’s something for everybody who loves to be outdoors. March through May is the ideal time to be outside on the historic streets, state parks and pristine waters around St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra Beach. Here are just some highlights of many upcoming Spring events.
For Music Lovers
If you love live music, you’re in for a treat. The St. Augustine Amphitheatre hosts some of the best-known musical performers and bands from around the world in this unique outdoor venue.
And The Colonial Oak Music Park on St. George Street is a local favorite where guests can sit outside under lanterns hanging from the majestic oak as they listen, sing and dance to country band music from Thursday - Sunday.
