Lighthouse Illuminations: November 20, 2026 — January 16, 2027
The St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum has been a constant beacon of light on Florida’s Historic Coast. This season, it will shine ever brighter.
You’ve spent your day shopping along St. George Street. You’ve taken the trolley along the decorated inns and shops of Avenida Menendez. You’ve sung carols on King Street and stopped for some mulled cider along the way. How do you top that?
Head for the Bridge of Lions and take in the magical view of the Nights of Lights reflections in the water. Then, continue onto Anastasia Island toward the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum. That’s where you’ll get to enjoy the Tides, Tidings and Trees decorations on the grounds and buildings of the museum.
As night falls, the displays shine even brighter. This year, guests can purchase after-hours tickets for the Lighthouse Illuminations event. During the holiday season, escape the crowds and enjoy an exclusive evening with the Lighthouse and grounds transformed into a festive wonderland. Stroll among twenty-one uniquely themed trees—including a vintage toy tree, an Old Florida tree, a Victorian-era tree, a nutcracker tree, and many others. Explore the Keepers’ House and grounds adorned with lights and garlands, and take in the breathtaking view of downtown from the top of the lighthouse.
