26th Annual Lincolnville Festival

Friday, Saturday and Sunday: November 3-5
Celebrate St. Augustine’s rich African-American cultural heritage! Lincolnville is one of St. Augustine’s oldest neighborhoods with more than half of its buildings dating from the late 19th century black settlement. Funds raised from the festival will be used for exhibits at the Fort Mose Museum. The festival kicks-off on Friday with live R&B music, food, and arts and crafts. Then on Saturday, there will be narrated tours of historic Lincolnville depicting the civil rights movement sites in the area, live country/pop, jazz and dance music all day along with more arts and crafts and a “Soul Food Contest”. On Sunday from 2-4 p.m., the festival features an exciting performance by blues great Eddie Kirkland and special guest Willie Green followed by inspiring gospel music. The Lincolnville Festival is free and takes place on Granada and Washington Streets, Friday 5 to 10 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and 2 to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
