Family Friendly Halloween Festivities
It's really no surprise that St. Augustine is known for its supernatural sightings and abundance of ghost stories. It's very likely, no matter where you walk in the historic district, that there is a grave under your feet! With Halloween approaching, what could be more appropriate than celebrating Halloween in the Nation's Oldest City? However, with young children, Halloween can be a scary event, so there are plenty of child-friendly festivities here!
