Holly Jolly Shopping Spree

Shop locally this season. St. Augustine retailers offer shopper discounts, special purchases to benefit a worthy cause, and a variety of tasty snacks.

A community fundraiser. Shop locally for the holidays, ride a trolley to Uptown shops, enjoy brunch and be jolly. Proceeds will benefit Fostering Connections. Soon summer will be over and cooler winds will prevail, and our eyes turn to football, décor, and our favorite recipes. At season’s end comes Thanksgiving, colder weather and the enchanting noels of Christmas. For those savvy planners who wa

nt a head start on holiday shopping—a chance to find thoughtful gifts and seasonal clothing—Holly Jolly Shopping Spree is a unique event just for you. The 12th annual shopping spree will be held on Saturday, November 19, 2022 between 9a and 4p on San Marco Avenue, St. Augustine, Florida. Gifts, holiday decorations, and other special treasures will be there for the picking. It is also an opportunity to support local Uptown businesses who generously support our community. To kick off the spree, don’t miss Carrera's Wine Cellar’s Sparkling Soirée and The Spice and Tea Exchange’s Bloody Mary Kick-off. Both are held at the initial meeting area at The Old Jail on 167 San Marco Avenue from 9 to 10a. After mingling and sipping, catch a sightseeing trolley (Old Town Trolley Tours) for a journey designed specially for you—a whirlwind shop-a-thon that meanders along San Marco Avenue, with silent auction items and photo-booth along the way. Oh, and there is a scheduled layover at Raintree Restaurant, where you will be served a tasty lunch and have a chance to win raffle prizes (sold at check-in and at brunch). A great day of fun and camaraderie awaits. Invite your friends, relatives and other savvy shoppers you know. Ticket price is $50. The cost includes a donation to a local, charitable beneficiary, a trolley ride, brunch, special discounts and offers from Uptown merchants, and a photobooth to capture memories with friends and family. The beneficiary will be awarded a check at 4p on the day of the spree at Carrera Wine Gallery. This year’s beneficiary is Fostering Connections. You can learn more about this organization by clicking on their logo. Participants park and meet between 8:30 and 9:45a. at Old Town Trolley Tours, 167 San Marco Avenue, St. We are limited to 275 guests, so make your reservation early. No tickets are issued; names will be on a guest list at check-in by The Old Jail.
