Event organizers said they are expecting a total of 32,000 people this weekend, and the festivals’ impacts are felt throughout the city.

From road closures that will shut down West Castillo Street, Riberia Street, and Orange Street, to local restaurants.

“We love it,” said Daniel Lege, the Tini Martini Bar Manager “We love having people come in and experience our beautiful city.”

The Tini Martini Bar is already a busy spot just half a mile from all the activity and the manager said they are welcoming all the new faces to St. Augustine.
