The Plaza de la Constitución is located in the heart of St. Augustine between Cathedral Place and King Street, just to the west of the Bridge of Lions. Each week performers entertain from The Gazebo, a fixture in the center of the Plaza for nearly a century. There is no permanent seating so attendees should bring lounge chairs. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited in the Plaza de la Constitución.

Art from six new, exciting and creative minds will be exhibited at Galeria del Mar. This exhibition has been designed for those who love the arts and will include new works from artists such as the iconic “hand coiled pottery” master Worley Faver as well as artist Jeffrey Terreson, whose encaustic technique (oil and wax)has influenced art lovers with its magical merging of colors and texture. New additions to our galleries will include the hip and “endlessly cool” Pop Art of Peter Mars, beautiful cityscapes from the Russian painter Dmitri Danish along with the colorful expressionist paintings of artist Josef Kote. Elegant sculptures in bronze and acrylic from Ira Reines will round out our lovely event with his modern figurative works rooted in classic line and form.
