The Amelia Island Tour 2016 was held Friday, March 11th, starting at the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island and ending in downtown Fernandina Beach.

With its ‘Eight Flags’ name, the Tour celebrates the unique fact that eight nations’ flags have flown over Amelia since 1562, the only municipality in the United States that has flown that many national flags.
