St. Augustine Lions Seafood Festival Celebrates Community and Charity

The St. Augustine Lions Seafood Festival, now in its 41st year, not only showcases the coastal city's rich seafood heritage but also embodies the vibrant community spirit of St. Augustine. This annual event brings together locals and visitors alike to enjoy a wide array of seafood delicacies, from freshly caught shrimp to indulgent lobster rolls, prepared by skilled local vendors.

Beyond the culinary offerings, the festival features live music performances, including jazz, Americana folk, and Latin fusion, creating a festive atmosphere. Local artisans and craftsmen also display their work, offering attendees the chance to support the local arts community. Families can enjoy various activities designed for children, making the festival a welcoming event for all ages.

Organized by the St. Augustine Lions Club, a non-profit organization, the festival serves a greater purpose by directing its proceeds towards charitable causes, such as providing eye care services to those in need. With over $2,000,000 raised for charitable needs, the festival stands as a testament to the community's commitment to giving back.
