🇺🇸 ✨ Celebrate Independence Day in St. Augustine✨🇺🇸

This year's 4th of July celebration promises to be an unforgettable one, featuring a dazzling 🎆 fireworks 🎇 display over the Matanzas Bay. The All-Star Orchestra will be keeping the crowd entertained with a lively concert, and there will be plenty of 🍔 food and🥤drinks available for purchase.

The free park-and-ride shuttle service is on Anastasia Island only and is provided by the city with support from Old Town Trolley Tours and Ripley's Express Tours.

The 🚋 shuttles run from 6 p.m. until midnight on July 4.

Here are the parking locations along Anastasia Blvd that the shuttles will pick up from:

🚋 Anastasia Baptist Church (1650 A1A South)
🚋 St. Augustine Amphitheatre (1340-C A1A South)
🚋 R.B. Hunt Elementary School (125 Magnolia Dr.)
🚋 St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park (999 Anastasia Blvd.)

❗Note: The St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park is a parking-only location. If you park there, you will need to take 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 be there to assist pedestrians in crossing the road safely.

All the festivities start at 6 p.m. Find all the information for this event at https://bit.ly/3jgieO9.
