Keep in mind that St. Augustine’s annual Fireworks Over The Matanzas draws more people to the downtown area than any other event all year long. So plan to come early and stay late. Rerouting of traffic will begin at 8:30pm and will include closing of the Bridge of Lions, Avenida Menendez and South Castillo Drive to all vehicular traffic to accommodate the vast number of pedestrians. The best advice is to arrive early, explore the city, enjoy the show, and be patient during departure.
