The St. Augustine Lions Spring Festival, known pre-pandemic as the St. Augustine Seafood Festival, retains its emphasis on seafood but adds little more to the menu to reflect it’s growth into a full-fledged fair.
The 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 and ethic foods, 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.
As in the past, no pets or coolers.
