It’s October and all of the smart tourists are starting to come on down to join the locals in what ends up the start of a couple of the most luxurious, lovely months in the state. If you look around, you can find something to do almost any given weekend here. There are outdoor concerts, festivals, food and wine tastings, tours, street parties and the like. There is absolutely no reason to stay inside this time of year if you are in Florida.

Over in St. Augustine they have what they like to call Uptown Saturday Night. During the last Saturdays in October and November, the Nation’s Oldest City shines the spotlight on their unparalleled antique district. The area around San Marco Avenue is brimming with street music and numerous antique and book stores that remain open late. You can find antiques workshops, author readings, book signings, gallery exhibits featuring Florida artists, and an overall party-like atmosphere. You can even find free parking. St. Augustine shopping is a treat anyway, but mix in a street party and it’s even better.

Uptown Saturday Night happens from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm the last Saturdays in October and November — October 27th and November 24th.

Uptown Saturday night is a tradition in St. Augustine and it is just one of the hundreds of events you will find across the state this time of year. We like to be outside all year here, but the autumn and winter months are particularly festive.
