St. Augustine Lions Seafood Festival

It’s time once again for the 42nd annual St. Augustine Lions Seafood Festival. This beloved event serves up a celebration of local flavors, vibrant culture, and community spirit. It’s just one of the many reasons people choose to purchase one of the St. Augustine custom homes that allow them to enjoy all that this beautiful historic city has to offer.

The event is taking place March 29-30, 2025, at Francis Field in downtown St. Augustine. It’s open from 10:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. on Saturday (Arts & Crafts Village closes at sundown), and 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. This community tradition promises two days of delicious seafood, toe-tapping entertainment, arts and crafts, and family-friendly activities. Plus, as it’s organized by the Lions Club, proceeds from admission, food, and more go to local charities and community initiatives.

This event brings together local vendors and others supplying mouthwatering dishes featuring shrimp, crab, oysters, fish, and other seafood specialties, ranging from spicy seafood boils to gourmet seafood tacos, not to mention non-seafood options, including BBQ, county fair food, specialty drinks and more to ensure something for everyone.

In addition to the fantastic food, the festival offers live music from local bands. Classic rock, jazz, ‘80s nostalgia, Grateful Dead and Jimmy Buffett tribute acts, rockabilly, Latin, and folk music will be filling the stages for your listening enjoyment. Along with the arts and crafts displays, there’s also the family fun at the swashbuckling world of Pirate Landing, where magic, games, and entertainment await. Performances by Captain Mayhem and his crew of pirates, sirens and mermaids can be enjoyed, along with free kids’ games, photo ops with SAL the Lion Mascot, face painting, firefighter truck tours, and even axe throwing for adults and kids.

Mark your calendars for the 2025 St. Augustine Lions Seafood Festival, where great food, good times, and a generous community spirit come together for an unforgettable experience!
