Colonial Night Watch & Torchlight Parade

Overview

Historic Florida Militia depicts 18th century combined Spanish and British colonial militia and Native American military arts, culture and lifestyles from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Colonial Quarter Museum, 33 St. George Street.

The Torchlight Parade is at 7 p.m. and marches down St. George Street from the City Gate to the Governor’s House Cultural Center & Museum, 48 King Street. From the balcony of the Governor’s House, the ceremonial Spanish Governor will greet and address the crowd. A brief ceremony ends with a massive musket volley. Following this “Volley of Joy” all those assembled are invited to ring in the Holiday Season with the singing of Christmas Carols. This is always a highlight of the evening and again a perfect spot for photographs. 732-309-2322 hfm.club/about/night-watch-for-visitors
