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, arts and crafts, and pirate fun. A few games in Pirate Landing are free for little ones. Rides are fee based. Click here: https://lionsfestival.com/activities/
