St. Augustine’s
big birthday bash
City commemorates 450-year history with music
festival, fireworks and other special events

A spotlight shined on the nation’s
oldest city during its 450th commemorative anniversary celebration
last week, and despite the inclement
weather, multitudes of people turned
out to mark the historic occasion.
The celebration took place over
several days from Sept. 4–8 at various locations throughout historic St.
Augustine.
A highlight of the festivities was a
free three-day music and street festival
with live entertainment on five stages
featuring local and national headlin-
ers such as veteran R&B singer, Aaron
Neville, rhythm & blues gospel singer,
Mavis Staples, Justin Townes Earle, JJ
Grey and Mofro and Emmylou Harris
with Rodney Crowell.
Saturday night closed out with a
bang with a fireworks show over the
Matanzas River.
The official anniversary was marked
Sept. 8 with a countdown clock ceremony at the Visitor Information Center, a reenactment of Pedro Menéndez’
landing in St. Augustine in 1565 and a
procession to the Cathedral Basilica of
St. Augustine followed by a commemorative mass.
