Jimmy Buffett Festival!
2nd Annual Just a Few Friends Celebration Key West
When: August 29 - September 1, 2025
Where: Key West, Duval St, Key West, FL 33040

It's been almost two years since Jimmy Buffett passed away, and there will be another festival to honor the late beloved singer-songwriter just as there was last year.

Not only are a variety of activities, events, and performances lined up, but Key West, Florida is going to proclaim August 30th Jimmy Buffett Day, with a parade to follow one day later.

“This is about more than music,” Just a few Friends co-organizer Paul Menta said in a statement. “We honor Jimmy’s memory by immersing people in the island he loved—the people, the history, the sunsets, the flavors. It’s a celebration of a way of life.”
