This is the 31st annual Night of Lights celebration for the City of St. Augustine. This dazzling display of approximately 3 million white lights has become one of Northeast Florida's most popular destinations during the holiday season. The lights are on from November 23, 2024 to January 26, 2025. Night of Lights has made St. Augustine one of the nation's "Brightest Towns" as voted by Rachel Ray Magazine. St. Augustine's Night of Lights comes from the traditional Spanish practice of displaying candles in windows during the Christmas holiday season. The candles in the windows allude to the biblical story of Mary and Joseph who could not find a room at the inn. When the Spanish placed candles in their windows, they symbolically made room for Jesus in their homes and hearts. It also reflects the welcoming attitude of the holiday season, welcoming guests into our homes. The stunning lights reflect the city's 450-year-old history, illuminating the beautiful cityscape and leaving lasting holiday memories. The City of St. Augustine has been celebrating its Night of Lights for 31 years and this year is sure to be another one to watch.

Born in Chicago, painter Judith (Judy) Dolnick has been creating colorful and vivid abstract paintings since the 1950s. She received her BA from Stanford University in 1955 and attended The Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, in 1957. Along with her husband, the painter Robert Natkin, and fellow artists Gerald van de Wiele and Ann Mattingly, Dolnick opened the Wells Street Gallery in Chicago to address the lack of exhibition opportunities for abstract expressionists in the area.
