Family Fun
Planning a family vacation in Florida? Try St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra Beach!
This amazing spectacle over the Matanzas is the highlight of the summer!
This classic event traditionally draws thousands of locals and visitors to the Castillo de San Marcos and all along the bayfront and the Bridge of Lions every year. This year promises to be even better than ever as we celebrate our freedom with family and friends and folks we meet along the way.
The 4th of July Fireworks are scheduled to take place on Thursday, July 4, 2025.
Parking in the lot at the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument is not free and is enforced by the National Park Service from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., seven days a week, including federal holidays. There will be no vehicular access to or from the Castillo’s parking lot on July 4th from 6-11 p.m.
Watch for some road closures starting at 8:30-10:30 p.m., so plan to arrive early for a cool drink at a local hot spot or enjoy a delightful meal at one of our many outdoor restaurants. Parking is available at the Historic Downtown Parking Garage behind the Visitor Information Center.
The free park and ride shuttle service on Anastasia Island only, is provided by the city with support from Old Town Trolley Tours and will be available from 6 p.m. until midnight from parking locations along Anastasia Blvd.:
*NOTE: The Alligator Farm is a parking-only location. If you park there you will need to access the shuttle at the R.B. Hunt Elementary School stop by crossing Anastasia Blvd. at the lighted crosswalk just east of the attraction. Law enforcement officers will assist pedestrians to cross the road safely.
