St. Augustine, Florida

Published by admin | Filed under Travel Connection

The oldest city in America is St. Augustine, Florida. This city is a true jewel of America and it gets a little bit better in October and November. The city will have Events in St. Augustine that will be selling some truly valuable antiques. Some of these antiques will be rare books and authentic Spanish treasures.

It all gets started on the last Saturday of October (27th); when lots of antique dealers will be lining the streets and selling all of these great antiques. Don’t worry if you miss the first Saturday, because it will all happen again on the last Saturday in November (24th). If you like antiques and are looking to buy them in the oldest city in our country; then you will really want to make plans to head down to St. Augustine for this antique event. You will have a chance to browse through so many antique pieces; it will take you all day to digest everything you’re seeing. However, you will not have the chance to browse all day because the Uptown Saturday Night Event starts at 5:00 PM and ends at 9:00 PM.

You can also visit the oldest road in the nation called Aviles Street. This street has the Ripleys Museum and a lot of other shops that will remain open on these special days, which will have more antiques for you to go through. You can find FREE PARKING at the Mission of Nombre de Dios!

The Uptown Saturday Night will be held again on the last Saturday in December (29th). This is a great opportunity to visit the oldest city in the nation and pick up some great antiques. I have been to St. Augustine before and found it to be one of the best cities I have ever been to. There is a great ghost walk tour you can take through this historic city, as your searching for your antiques. This is definitely something you don’t want to miss, so be sure to start making your plans today to visit St. Augustine, Florida!
