An all-American musical line-up once again lights up the stage the St. Augustine Lions Seafood Festival this weekend. From jazz to bluegrass, non-stop entertainment from Friday at 4 p.m. until Sunday at 6 p.m. features an eclectic mix of jazz, blues, acoustic, country and bluegrass.
This festival is a cooperative effort of nearly a dozen Lions Clubs, some as far away Jacksonville, who supply volunteers to participate and raise money for their club’s respective charities.
In addition to seafood, you’ll find 100 artisan booths in the Arts and Crafts show, a Kids Zone and Pirate Village, as well as an all-American musical line-up ranging across multiple genres, from jazz to bluegrass.
