The Fort Myers Beach LIONS Club is excited to announce the official Shrimp Festival ‘Shrimp Crawl’ taking place February 28th – March 9th, 2025 on Fort Myers Beach. We have partnered with local restaurants and bars to provide fans with all the local #PinkGold shrimp they can get their lips on for the ENTIRE WEEK of Shrimp Festival. 16 of your favorite Beach businesses have partnered with us to give you MORE SHRIMP all while vowing to give back a portion of the proceeds to our efforts to help the local community of those in need.
