The St. Augustine Lions Club is proud to announce the dates for the 39th Annual St. Augustine Lions Spring Festival, which will be held at Francis Field March 26th-27th, 2022. Previously known as the Seafood Festival, the St. Augustine Lions Foundation has rebranded the popular festival with a fresh look and expanded options.

The new theme will help the festival grow and prosper after the 2020 and 2021 festivals being cancelled due to the pandemic. 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, with a focus on youth, the deaf and blind, disaster relief, veterans, and more. With more than 28,000 people expected to attend in 2022, the St. Augustine Lions Spring Festival is currently the largest festival held in St. Augustine.

The primary draw of the festival is its abundance of great food and live music. There will be seafood offered, of course, with the addition of more cuisines and county fair dishes. Other fun activities include kids rides, family shows, and an Arts & Crafts vendors. “We’re very excited to announce the dates for 2022,” said Dominic
 Mercurio, Festival Chairman. “This is truly a community event and Lions, whose motto is ‘We Serve,’ are able to raise the funds needed to fulfill our claim that ‘Where there is a need, there is a Lion.’ We invite everyone out to Francis Field to join us in giving back to the community. After two years of cancellations, we can’t wait to all be together again and shout ‘Hey, We’re Havin’ Fun Now!’”
