Holiday Regatta of Lights 2025

Enjoy this 44th annual holiday tradition hosted by the St. Augustine Yacht Club.  Pick a prime spot along the Seawall on the Bayfront, the Castillo de San Marcos, the Bridge of Lions, or the Eastern shore of the bay to view this colorful event.

You’ll find all types of vessels decorated with festive lights for the Christmas Holiday!  They’ll ‘parade’ before the crowds on the Bayfront just North of the Bridge of Lions in this cherished St. Augustine tradition.  Sailboats, sport-fishermen, shrimp boats, trawlers, and more.  This annual event reflects on the rich maritime heritage of the Oldest City.

Be sure to come early to “anchor” your spot for viewing!  Stick around afterwards to take in the Nights of Lights .
