Save The Date! 42nd Annual St. Augustine Lions Seafood Festival
ST. AUGUSTINE, Florida (February 12, 2025) – The St. Augustine Lions Foundation and Lions Club invites you to the 42nd Annual St. Augustine Lions Seafood Festival, which will be held at Francis Field on Saturday, March 29th and Sunday, March 30th, 2025. The beloved festival is the primary fundraising event for the St. Augustine Lions Foundation each year since 1981 – generating funds for charitable needs and services to the community, focusing on youth, the deaf and the blind, disaster relief, Veterans, and more. The festival is held at Francis Field, 25 West Castillo Drive, in downtown St. Augustine.
The primary draw of the festival is its abundance of great food, live music, and fun entertainment. Seafood is the main star, prepared in various ways, along with other cuisines such as BBQ, Asian, Greek, and carnival foods. The live music on the main stage is a feature that gets better year-after-year. The renamed Fun Zone offers excitement for adults and kids, with the Ninja Nation obstacle course, Axe Throwing for adults and youths, Bungee Jumping, and so much more. Attendees will enjoy the Arts & Crafts Village and Pirate Landing – featuring performers such as magicians, pirates, and characters like mermaids, lions, and Smokey Bear.
“We’re very excited for the bigger and better 2025 Festival,” says Memory Hopkins, Festival Co-Chairman. “The Seafood Festival is a beloved local event, and it’s always wonderful to see the community come together to have fun and support our charitable work. We look forward to seeing everyone during the last weekend in March!”
