Reminder: Nights of Lights public engagement meetings begin next week

Presentation materials provided for the public to review in advance

News Flash Posted on May 15, 2025

In advance of upcoming public engagement meetings intended to address concerns over large-scale events, in particular the City’s annual holiday lighting season, Nights of Lights, the City of St. Augustine is providing the presentation materials for the public’s review.

Two sets of meetings have been scheduled during the day:

  • Resident Discussion: Tuesday, May 20 and Tuesday, May 27 from 9:00am to 11:00am
  • Business Discussion: Thursday, May 22 and Thursday May 29 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm

One additional meeting scheduled for all residential and business stakeholders on Tuesday, June 10, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm, for anyone who is unable to attend the May daytime meetings.

The public engagement meetings will focus on mobility issues including traffic circulation, pedestrian safety, and parking; however, they will not be limited to discussing only these topics.  Attendees are encouraged to present suggestions and share concerns about any aspects of large-scale events.

The presentation is available here.

All meetings will be held in a town hall format in The Alcazar Room of City Hall, located at 75 King Street with easels and paper note boards to record people’s input.  The information and data collected at all five meetings will be gathered, collated, and summarized to provide recommendations for the City Commission.

This is an open forum for sharing ideas and having discussions, and all are welcome to attend and participate.

For media inquiries, contact Melissa Wissel, Communications Director, at 904.293.3307.
