As a history teacher, I love places like St. Augustine. It has the feeling of someplace quite old – and it is, in fact, the oldest city in Florida. The Mission of Nombre de Dios was founded in 1565, and one of Napoleon's nephews even visited the 150 year-old walled houses of Old St. Augustine Village. I would just love to be able to spend an evening soaking up these historic sites in locations in a festive atmosphere!

St. Augustine hosts many special events during the year, including the St. Augustine Artwalk, which is a self-guided tour of the many artistic sites of the city on the first Firday of every month. Imagine the fun of a stroll through the scenic city, examining the many beautiful exhibits put on by the art galleries of St. Augustine, many of which are housed in historic buildings. A free shuttle is also available.

Here's how it works. Beginning at Rembrandtz Fine Gifts for Fun People, you can visit over 20 galleries to see the work of many fine artists who make the area their home. Artists like Peter O'Neill, Ray Brilli and Jean Troemel are often featured in these galleries, as are the works of many fine artists. If you enjoy art, history, and the beauty of a scenic town, this is certainly the event for you.
