Special Events and Venues

St. Augustine plays host to a wide variety and a great many events that have become an important part of the community’s tourist economy and often provide much needed fundraising opportunities for community based charitable and service organizations. A growing number of these events depend on the facilities made available by the City of St. Augustine and the essential support services only a municipality can provide.

By making these facilities and services available to organizers at reasonable costs, the city supports the successful staging of events without placing an undue financial burden on public resources or diminishing the level of services the municipality is required to provide to residents, businesses and visitors.
