When you’re visiting St. Augustine, don’t miss the free concerts on Thursday nights. It’s the best way to enjoy a beautiful summer evening.
For the 19th year, St. Augustine continues with the free Concerts in the Plaza series. This popular event is said to be “the best way to spend a Thursday night in the Old Cityâ€, and it is definitely a great way to enjoy a free concert under live oaks in the park. The concert series brings a variety of music to the historic district of St. Augustine’s all summer long. Listen to Bluegrass and blues, jazz and country, swing and folk, old time and popular rock every Thursday.
All Thursday night concerts are free. The performance begins at 7 p.m, bring your own chair and maybe even picnic dinner.
The Plaza de la Constitución is located in the heart of St. Augustine between Cathedral Place and King Street, west of the Bridge of Lions. The band performs from The Gazebo, located in the center of the Plaza. Plan to come early to get reserve a good spot, this is usually a popular event.
Where to Park
Parking is available in the Historic Downtown Parking Facility (HDPF) located at the St. Augustine & St. Johns County Visitors Information Center. This is usually where we park when we visit St Augustine for the day. It’s convenient and easy – who wants to waste time driving around looking for parking anyway? There’s too much to see in St Augustine for that. This place is about a ten minute walk along St. George St. to the Plaza. The cost there is $1.25 per hour with a $7.50 per day maximum.
On street parking is also available near the Plaza de la Constitución and is free after 5:00pm.
