St. Augustine is going all out this Independence Day, combining its annual Fourth of July festivities with celebrations marking America's 250th anniversary. It's shaping up to be one of the more significant holiday gatherings the Ancient City has hosted in years.
Fireworks and live music are centerpieces of the celebration, giving both locals and visitors plenty of reasons to stake out a good spot early along the waterfront.
Before you head out, it's worth doing a little homework on logistics. Organizers have released details on parking options and road closures that will be in effect for the holiday, and knowing those in advance can save you a lot of frustration on the day itself.
Whether you're coming from across town or making a weekend trip of it, St. Augustine's historic backdrop makes for a genuinely memorable setting to mark both Independence Day and this once-in-a-generation national milestone.
Full parking, road closure, and event details were reported by the St. Augustine Record.
