Easy Season on Florida’s Historic Coast! August and September are a relatively slow time of year for tourism, but a great time for St. Johns County residents. Easy Season is the best time for locals to invite their families to come for a visit because of the lower rates for accommodations. And during these months, local attractions, museums and tours offer free or discounted admission to residents, encouraging locals to be a “tourist” in their own back yard.
The best part of Easy Season is the free Sing Out Loud Music Festival September 1 – 23. The Sing Out Loud Music Festival returns for four weekends this September. Hundreds of performances will take place at in the greater St. Augustine area and Ponte Vedra Beach in an epic celebration of local, regional and national singers, songwriters and musicians.
