This week
👮 Wounded Blue @ Rustic Dough Works | Tuesday (12/16) at 3:00pm – Benefit dinner at Rustic Dough Works, 200 pizzas, you name the price, and every dollar goes to The Wounded Blue supporting injured officers and their families. Come eat well, do good, and get Randy Sutton’s new book signed, because multitasking counts.
🌱 Master Gardener Horticultural Workshop @ Palm Coast Community Center | Tuesday (12/16) at 6:30pm – Nothing beats finally learning how to keep a poinsettia alive past New Year’s, coax an amaryllis to behave, and stop overwatering the Christmas cactus. Master Gardeners dish real holiday plant care, not folklore. Register via Palm Coast Community Center.
🍀 Do They Know It’s Christmas @ The Waterworks | Thursday (12/18) at 7:00pm – Step into a gloriously chaotic 1980s Irish Christmas—think midnight mass, day drinking, big feelings, and even bigger laughs. This night of storytelling and comedy wraps family, ritual, and just the right amount of chaos into one festive package.
🏛️ Historic House Tours @ Peña-Peck House | Friday (12/19) at 12:00pm – Give your out-of-town spiel an upgrade with a self-guided audio tour of the circa 1750 Peña-Peck House. Slip into the cool of a real colonial home, learn a little local gossip, and pretend you always knew this much history.
🐊 Coke Florida Holiday Caravan @ St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park | Friday (12/19) at 1:00pm – Think your holiday photos could use more reptiles? The Coca Cola Holiday Caravan is rolling into the Alligator Farm with Santa, festive activities, and refreshing beverages. Bring the family, dodge the tourists, and let the gators judge your matching pajamas, not your patience.
This weekend
🍫 Chocolate Truffle Making Class @ Begin Again Home Goods | Saturday (12/20) at 12:00pm – If your sweet tooth has been calling for a respectable hobby, here it is. Roll, dip, and decorate a half dozen Belgian chocolate truffles, all materials included, then pretend they’re gifts on the drive home. Family friendly, foodie approved, pre-pay required.
🩰 The Nutcracker Ballet @ Flagler College – Lewis Auditorium | Saturday (12/20) at 1:30pm – Holiday season at Flagler College’s Lewis Auditorium means the annual return of St. Augustine Ballet’s Nutcracker, with snow, sweets, and just enough whimsy to keep the grandkids quiet. Expect Tchaikovsky, twirls, and hometown talent, then stroll past the Nights of Lights feeling smugly festive.
🏺 Sip & Sculpt: Clay Gingerbread House @ The Art House | Saturday (12/20) at 3:00pm – Trade royal icing for clay and build a gingerbread house that won’t attract ants, sag, or get eaten by the dog. They bring the clay, tools, and your first drink, you do the piping, textures, and tea light glow, then feel joy all season.
🎹 MindTravel December ‘Silent’ Piano Concert in St. Augustine @ St. Johns County Ocean & Fishing Pier | Saturday (12/20) at 4:00pm – Trade the holiday chaos for a silent beachside piano concert where the music lives in your headphones and the waves handle percussion. Mindful vibes, ocean air, and zero small talk with strangers. Bring a jacket, a chair, and your inner contemplative.
🎄 Christmas Experience @ Ancient City Farmstead | Sunday (12/21) – Because around here winter is a rumor, head to Ancient City Farmstead for a skating rink, reindeer games, and Santa’s workshop. It’s kid joy without the mall lines, and just enough cheer to make even your inner Grinch behave. Bring the camera, and the patience.
