Halloween in St. Augustine: Ghosts, Costumes and a Safe Ride Home
Halloween has always been a busy night for St. Augustine—and really, what better city is there for it?
We're the nation's oldest city. By simple cab-driver logic, we've had more time to accumulate ghosts.
St. Augustine embraces its spooky reputation with ghost tours, haunted history, costumes, pub crawls and Halloween events throughout the historic district and surrounding area.
For visitors, that's part of the fun. You can spend the evening walking centuries-old streets, hear stories about the people who once lived here, visit some supposedly haunted locations and then head downtown for food, drinks and entertainment.
For taxi drivers, Halloween brings another tradition: designated driving.
If your Halloween plans include drinking, make your transportation plans before you go out. Leave the driving to someone else and concentrate on having a good time.
Costumes are encouraged. Creativity is appreciated.
Trying to drive home after too many Halloween spirits—the liquid kind—isn't.
Abraxi Taxi has spent many Halloween nights carrying ghosts, goblins, pirates, witches and occasionally people whose costumes we never quite figured out around St. Augustine.
Have fun. Be strange. Enjoy the Ancient City after dark.
Just get home safely.
