Event Info: |
Today,
the Festival continues to be the major event of the year for Fort Myers
Beach. The Lions Club continues to head the individual events of the
festival such as the parade, exhibition, Queens Pageant and the now
famous shrimp-eating contest! Drawing thousands of visitors from
almost every state and many countries, the Lions Club Shrimp Festival is
an event that locals count on year after year to put a smile on their
faces, put delicious “Pink Gold” shrimp dinners in their bellies, and all the
while, funds what serves to provide those less fortunate with
opportunities they would otherwise not have. There is a large area for
arts and crafts and business vendors and exhibitors, and over 25,000
attendees in the Times Square area of the beach! Bring the family
and come enjoy the beach, the food and the atmosphere while helping the
Lion's Foundation help others! |
