One thing St. Augustine is known for is its Nights of Lights tradition. This event is a staple of the city, bringing visitors from around the world to see St. Augustine dressed from the ground to the rooftops in millions of twinkling lights. Known as one of the best holiday lighting displays in the world, Nights of Lights is in its 29th year and will run from Nov. 19 through Jan. 31.
This year, locals and visitors are invited to enjoy the holiday magic with one of The Tasting Tours’ Nights of Lights rides, designed to provide a unique experience you won't find anywhere else.
"It's no secret that Nights of Lights season is one of the most popular events in St. Augustine," said Andrea Jones, CEO of The Tasting Tours. "No matter how often you've seen them, it never gets old. Our Nights of Lights rides are designed for everyone to enjoy. Locals, tourists, couples, families and friends can come out and experience the lights in a whole new way."
The Tasting Tours offers six Nights of Lights rides for guests to choose from, including family-friendly holiday-themed rides like the HO HO HO Ride with Santa, the newest How the Grinch Stole Christmas Ride (daily), and the very popular GRINCHmas Ride (nightly).
In addition, they offer the BAH HUMBUG Ride with Scrooge (18+) and Group Wine & Carriage Ride, perfect for those traveling with friends, and the Private Carriage Ride for Two makes the ideal choice for those looking to enjoy a romantic evening in the Nation’s Oldest City. Character-themed rides will chauffeur guests through the holiday lights on an open-air electric vehicle, while the horse-drawn carriage rides feature a bottle of boutique wine and souvenir wine glasses.
"One of the most incredible things about this event is its power to bring people together," Jones said. "Whether you're a lifelong local or a first-time visitor, we all come together during the holidays to see this incredible sight. These rides are the perfect way to celebrate the season with those you love and perhaps make new friends along the way."
