St. Augustine Lions Seafood Festival

Seafood and Live Music

The annual St. Augustine Lions Seafood Festival features a variety of seafood dishes, live music, arts and crafts, and family activities. The festival is 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 21, and 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 22, 2026.

St. Augustine Lions Seafood Festival offers an array of seafood dishes—lobster, crawfish, scallops, and shrimp—and cuisines from other cultures and regions. You can find traditional county fair foods, too.

The festival features live music, an arts and crafts village, a plant sale, and axe-throwing.

For the Kids

On Saturday and Sunday, Captain Mayhem entertains the kids and kids-at-heart with shows on the Pirate Landing Stage from 11:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, and from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. Captain Mayhem is joined by several characters, including lions and bears. He and his crew present dancing, storytelling, juggling, singing, magic, and mayhem for all ages. All events at Pirate Landing are free.

Several activities for kids (and some for kids at heart) are available at an additional fee: a human hamster wheel, rock wall, bungee jump, giant slide, fun house, giant ball race, moon bounces, kids obstacle course, funny farm bounce, daredevil, and axe-throwing.
