62ND SHRIMP FESTIVAL TO RETURN ON FORT MYERS BEACH

The Fort Myers Beach Lions Club will host its 62nd annual Shrimp Festival March 12 and 13. The festival was canceled for the past two years due to the pandemic. On Monday, the Fort Myers Beach Town Council approved the permit, WINK News reports. The former president and marketing chair for the Fort Myers Beach Lions Club, Shelby Stites, says five events will be spread out across the two days. The festival will be held outside, and there will be extra hand-washing stations throughout the whole parade and in the arts and crafts expo area, Stites says.
