St. Augustine Nights of Lights The Grinch Who Stole Pinkmas

---

 Welcome to Pink Culture Tours’ zaniest holiday adventure: the Grinch Who Stole Pinkmas — a completely offbeat, sass-filled ride through St. Augustine’s world-famous Nights of Lights. Think millions of glowing lights, iconic historic landmarks, and a grouchy green guy who’s accidentally spreading holiday cheer. 

• Comedic Character Experience: Your guide? None other than the Grinch — but not your average one. This Grinch is sarcastic, mischief-making, and reluctantly leading the festivities. Expect ear-to-ear grins, witty banter, and unexpected holiday hijinks. 
• All-Pink, All Sparkle: Ride in style aboard our open-air, pink-lit electric golf carts — a signature look from Pink Culture Tours.
   
• Iconic Light Displays: We’ll glide past St. Augustine favorites — the Castillo de San Marcos, Flagler College, the Lightner Museum, Aviles Street, City Square, and more — all dazzling by night.
   
• Interactive & Theatrical: This isn’t just a tour — it's live storytelling. The Grinch (your guide) acts out, cracks jokes, and makes every stop feel like part of his “pink hijacking” of Pinkmas.
   
• Instagram-Worthy Moments: Strategic photo stops let you capture glowing historic landmarks, vibrant lights, and of course, your own face next to the grouchiest holiday icon.
   
• Fun for All Ages: Families, friend groups, bachelorette parties — everyone’s welcome. Whether you're holiday-spirited or holiday-skeptical, the Grinch’s cynical commentary makes it a wild and fun ride.
   

• Meeting Point: 101 Orange Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084 (the Pink House).
   
• Duration: Approximately 40–45 minutes of pure holiday chaos and charm.
   
• Group Size: Up to 7 people per golf cart.
   
• Pricing: Starting at $45 per person (plus taxes/fees).
   
• Age Requirement: Guests must be age 3 and above.
   
• Booking: Tours run nightly from November 15 through January 11 (check availability); advanced booking is required.
   
• Travel Tip: Parking downtown is limited. We recommend arriving at least an hour early. Nearby public and private lots are available; the Historic Downtown Parking Garage is a solid bet.
   

1. Illuminated Historic Landmarks
   Experience St. Augustine’s most beautiful monuments under a canopy of lights — including the Castillo de San Marcos, Flagler College, and City Square.
    
2. Aviles Street’s Vintage Glow
   The oldest street in the U.S. comes alive in soft pink hues and brick charm.
    
3. Gilded Age Architecture
   Pass by opulent structures like the Lightner Museum and Hotel Casa Monica, which twinkle in their holiday finest.
    
4. Bayfront Competition
   See hotels along the waterfront decked out with lights — and feel free to pick your favorite “pink-ed out” display.
    

• You’ll board your pink golf cart, probably wondering how a Grinch ended up in pink.
   
• Your Grinch guide will launch into live storytelling — complaining, exaggerating, and maybe warming up to Pinkmas… kind of.
   
• Between sarcastic quips, he’ll point out landmarks, invite photo moments, and even perform little theatrics.
   
• You’ll laugh, you’ll gasp, and you might just feel a little holiday spirit — whether you want to admit it or not.
   
• At the end, there are more chances to pose, laugh, and really soak in the glowing magic of St. Augustine at Christmastime.
   

• Unique Character Ride: Unlike simple sightseeing, you’re getting a full theatrical experience.
   
• Pink Culture Twist: The contrast of a grouchy Grinch in a pink cart? That’s not something other tours can deliver.
   
• Immersive & Interactive: It’s not just “look at the lights” — it’s “laugh at the lights with a grumpy green guy who hates them (but secretly loves them).”
   
• Memorable & Shareable: From social media to family holiday photos, this tour is built for storytelling and memory-making.
   

• This is a shared tour; you’ll likely be riding with others unless you book all seats.
   
• Because it’s open-air and electric, dress in layers — it can be chilly at night during the holiday season.
   
• Be ready for cobblestone streets and some gentle bumps; our carts are built for comfort, but they’re still part of the historic charm.
   
• No food or large luggage on the cart — but small bags, cameras, and phones are totally fine.

Q: Where do we meet?

Q: Can I bring a stroller or wheelchair?
A: The golf carts are open-air and have limited space, so we recommend contacting us directly to accommodate special needs or mobility devices.

Q: Is this a historical tour?
A: No — it’s pure entertainment. While you’ll pass major landmarks, the focus is on comedy, character, and holiday sparkle, not deep historical narration.

Q: Is this the same as other Grinch tours in St. Augustine?

A: No! It's way better! And a tone more fun!!  Once you arrive at our Whoville themed house, you can sip on hot cocoa, chat with some elves, some Whos like Cindy Lou Who, and maybe even Barbie - Because the Grinch is trying to steal all her Pinkmas vibes!  There are Grinch themed photo ops along with other fun surprises and some great Grinch Who Stole Pinkmas merch!
