The Christmas Market Returns to Downtown St. Augustine
ST. AUGUSTINE, Florida (November 2, 2025) – Move over Vienna, Austria; Strasbourg, France; and Cologne, Germany, the nation’s oldest city is now offering its very own Christmas market filled with holiday gifts, winter festivities, live entertainment, and delicious treats. For the second year in a row, The Christmas Market – St. Augustine will return to the Colonial Quarter, located at 33 St. George Street in downtown St. Augustine, from Saturday, November 15th through Wednesday, December 24th.
“We’re really focused on making the market a destination for locals,” says Elissa Dumontier, who is the organizer of The Christmas Market along with her husband, Franck. “If you're a St. Augustine resident, you can purchase a pass for $10, which provides unlimited access to the market’s entire season. You just need to show your ID at the door. We want our local residents to keep coming back as the vendors, kids’ activities, and entertainment will change daily. Each time you visit our market, it will be a new experience!”
The Christmas Market – St. Augustine will be open daily from November 15th through December 24th.

From 4pm to 9pm, the market will also offer evening entertainment, kids’ activities, and on the weekends, family photos with Santa.
“During our inaugural market last year, we really learned what worked, what didn’t, and how we could create an even bigger and brighter experience for our community,” explains Jim Stephen, who owns The Christmas Market – St. Augustine along with his wife, Mia. “With Nights of Lights bringing thousands of visitors to our magical city, our market offers a festive holiday atmosphere that’s in the heart of the city, but just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of St. George Street. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on!”
