Prices are typical for Festivals. The great part is each food vendor must donate a portion of their sales to the SAL Foundation for charity. Every dollar you spend on food, helps someone in need.

The Festival will offer a number of children’s, adult and family events and activities, axe throwing, face-painting, music, clowns, magic, character meet-and-greets, an interactive fire engine exhibition, arts and crafts, and pirate fun. A few games in Pirate Cove are free for little ones. Rides are fee based. Click here: https://lionsfestival.com/activities/

We have a full slate of music lined up. Expect to hear Jazz, Latin, Country, Folk, Classic Rock, Motown and Contemporary. For times and locations of all shows, click here: https://lionsfestival.com/entertainment/

The Festival holds a “50-50” drawing. After the Festival a winning ticket will be drawn and the winner will receive 50% of ticket proceeds, with the remaining 50% donated to the Lions Foundation for charitable works. Winners need not be present to win. No more than 2500 tickets will be sold. Each ticket is a $5 donation.
