Just A Few Friends Festival

Loading Events

Fans of the late singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett can celebrate his legacy over Labor Day Weekend in Key West, his former home and the island that inspired his most enduring songs, during the immersive Just a Few Friends festival. Set for Aug. 29 through Sept. 1, the gathering is part memorial, part music festival, and a unique opportunity to experience the place where Buffett developed his famed “trop-rock” sound.

The five-day gathering offers attendees a chance to walk the same streets Buffett sang about, visit the bars and marinas where his stories began, and hear the musicians who knew him best perform in intimate settings.

Festival Highlights:
  • Live performances by Nadirah Shakoor, Will Kimbrough, Roger Bartlett, and more

  • Second Line Memorial Parade and Party in the Park Sunday, Aug. 31

  • Margarita Strolls, brunches, happy hours, and culinary experiences
