The St. Augustine History Festival was created and conceived by UFHSA (University of Florida Historic St. Augustine, Inc.) and the Lastinger Family Foundation for the purpose of generating excitement about the history of America’s oldest city.

The goal is to showcase every era of St. Augustine’s long and storied past, from the founding in 1565 to the most advanced technology available in 2026 to research and study every year in between. American history began here, and no one tells the story better than they do – come out and enjoy the city! The St. Augustine History Festival will take place May 6-10, 2026, with events at 25+ historic sites throughout historic St. Augustine, Florida!
