What We See In The Shadows Exhibit
Be sure to stop in the St. Augustine Art Association to view this new exhibit. It is entirely in the dark … with the exception of flashlights and wayfinders!
We’re used to seeing artwork well-lit and beautifully displayed on the wall. So, what happens when you’re forced to look at it bit by bit? The overall image and perspective changes. Or … maybe you see something you wouldn’t have noticed with full lighting.
For the artists, it’s a challenge to create a cohesive image that will be viewed in fragments.
In-gallery and Online — July 17 – August 31, 2025
Exhibit open during First Friday Art Walk from 5:00pm-8:00pm — August 1, 2025.
Gallery Hours: Tuesdays through Sundays, 12:00pm-4:00pm
Free Admission.

Tolomato Cemetery Guided Tours
2025-08-16 11:00 - 14:00 | Tolomato Cemetery, 16 Cordova Street, St. Augustine, FL, 32084, United States
Join us at the Tolomato Cemetery for one of our free Guided Tours … given on the 3rd Saturday of the month between 11:00am-2:00pm.
Learn about the cemetery; feel yourself surrounded by the past of historic St. Augustine. In use as a cemetery from the 18th century until 1884, the space is the last resting place of some 1,000 St. Augustinians. That includes many people important to the history of Florida and the United States.
Guided tours begin at 11:00am and are offered throughout the day with the last tour at 1:30pm. Just let the people at the gate know that you’d like a guided tour. A self-guided tour is also an option.
October 18 is DAR Patriot Remembrance Day. During this annual event, members of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) gather to honor American Revolutionary War patriots buried at the historic St. Augustine cemetery.

Historic Timeline Saunter
2025-08-16 17:30 - 20:30 | Downtown St. Augustine, St. Augustine, FL, 32084, United States
Join members of the Historic Florida Militia for a Historic Timeline Saunter from 5:30pm to 8:30pm. Held on select Saturdays of the month, this is a perfect opportunity to learn about St. Augustine’s history and to pose for pictures.
Historically clad re-enactors “saunter” down St. George Street and the historic area in St. Augustine to Aviles Street. Along the way, they speak with visitors and residents presenting a timeline of St. Augustine’s colonial history.
Participants wear historically accurate clothing depicting Saint Augustine’s history from 1513 to 1784. By wearing period clothing, re-enactors can explain and show the difference between fact and fiction more easily.
Free and open to the public. The event is weather permitting.
