Christmas shopping can be very tiring, so how about this for a change of pace, step back in time and experience the wonderful and rich history of St. Augustine at Christmastime with some 18th Century Christmas Caroling. This will be an evening for the whole family to spend together. The event will begin with a musical prelude of Christmas music on a hammered dulcimer and violin begins at 6:30 pm at Plaza de la Constitucion. But don’t worry, your family will get a chance to sing as well. Song sheets with the familiar words to 10 Christmas carols written before the 1800’s will be provided and candles and songbooks will be available. The singing of the carols and the procession down St. George Street will begin at 7 p.m. and will end at the Castillo de San Marcos where a Merry Christmas and good night will be wished for all.
