Abstract: |
From April 6-8, 1927 St. Augustine held a three day Ponce de Leon celebration. This celebration included a variety of town events including baseball, fireworks, and reenactments. The celebration focused on historic events beginning with Ponce de Leon and covering a variety of topics relating to Florida history, including Menéndez’s founding of St. Augustine (1565), Sir Francis Drake’s sacking of the town (1586), and the Oglethorpe siege (1740). The affair included a large number of participants—a total of 500 people and 200 horseman—and included pageant winners from other parts of the South as ladies-in-waiting. Many of the participants dressed up in period clothing and played a variety of historical figures.
St. Augustine has a history of Ponce de Leon celebrations, beginning in 1883. These events were sporadic and did not occur annually. Examples of the years the town celebrated include 1907, 1908, 1909 and 1913. Generally, the town tended to close shop for the celebration, though the events and time devoted toward the celebration varied. The city would decorate the town and citizens would wear costumes resembling English, Spanish, French and Indian styles. The celebration occurred in early spring, either in late March or early April and was typically a multi-day event.
