This New Year’s Eve is a big one – we’re finishing out the 2010s and launching the 2020s. So as the countdown starts to the new year and the new decade, the people of St. Augustine are getting ready for quite a party. If you’re still looking for the best way to spend the night, though, we can help. All over the city, you’ll find everything from champagne toasts at midnight to full on celebrations. And if you want something a little more unconventional, there’s even painting and hot yoga to be had. So strap on your dancing shoes (or pull on some yoga pants, if that’s more your speed) and get ready to welcome a brand new decade. This list will be updated as new information is collected.
