Historic Cities

From the ultimate historical city in the state, St. Augustine, to the higher education history in places like Gainesville and citrus grove history in Orlando, Florida has a lot of history to explore, and it’s entertaining to do it in the winter when you aren’t feeling like you’re walking through a sauna because of the humidity.

St. Augustine always holds a fantastic light display and has a variety of things for visitors to see. So be sure to pack your camera if you go.

At the same time, other cities also try to get in on the festive spirit and put on their own shows, including farmer’s markets, outdoor caroling, and other activities for families to spend some time learning about Florida’s heritage while enjoying the sun.
