Step back in time to 1740 when St. Augustine was a Spanish garrison town. Throughout the day, authentically clad soldiers representing the city’s garrison will be encamped at the Colonial Spanish Quarter on St. George Street. At 8 p.m., Nightwatch gets underway when the soldiers gather at Government House and begin a torch-lit parade through the historic area. The procession will head up St. George Street to the Castillo de San Marcos where artillerymen will fire a salute with cannons. The next stop for the soldiers will be the City Gate where a ceremonial changing of the guard will take place. Returning to the Plaza de la Constitucion, the torch-wielding soldiers will load their muskets and fire a volley of joy.
