Past Events
Moving History: The Mayport Lighthouse Restoration
Free community event in partnership with St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum and Florida Lighthouse Association
With nearly 60 attendees, thoughtful questions, and so much enthusiasm, we left feeling more inspired than ever.
One of the most memorable moments came when we shared the first interior photos of the St. Johns River Lighthouse. As images of the granite staircase and soaring circular brick column appeared on screen, the room let out an audible gasp. The unique staircase is something that makes the Lighthouse so special, as it is a design not often seen (pictured). Seeing so many people discover the beauty hidden within this structure is something we'll never forget, and is a great reminder of why we do what we do
A Guided Trolley Tour of
Mayport Village (October, 2025)
Scenic Jacksonville teamed up with the Mayport Waterfront Partnership for Scenic Visions 2025: Spotlight on Mayport Village.
Guests enjoyed a behind-the-scenes look at our historic working waterfront, with stops at the Coast Guard Station, Marine Science Center, and of course, the St. Johns River Lighthouse. Our Board President and Vice President joined the tour to share the Lighthouse’s rich history, provide updates on our ongoing efforts to save and preserve the historic structure, and tell a few favorite stories about our Lighthouse Keepers.
St. Johns River Lighthouse
167th Anniversary Party
The celebration took place on Saturday, January 31, 2026.
The afternoon included a brief year-in-review, including highlights from our 2025 feasibility study, stories about the lighthouse and Mayport Village, a silent auction, and, of course, cake as we honored 167 years of the St. Johns River Lighthouse and its place in our community!
Thank you to our Silent Auction Donors!
We are thrilled to thank our generous silent auction donors for their incredible support of the Mayport Lighthouse Association! Their contributions are vital to our preservation efforts and truly showcase the strength and heart of the Mayport Village community. We invite you to explore their websites, learn more about the amazing work they do, and support the local businesses that help keep Mayport village thriving.
