3 Weeks From Today! LET’S TALK ABOUT THE PARTY IN THE PARK :) SUNDAY · SEPTEMBER 6 TRUMAN WATERFRONT PARK 6–10 PM FREE | FAMILY | PET FRIENDLY The Sunday Second Line Memorial Parade ends at Truman Waterfront Park, but that’s only the beginning of the biggest evening of the weekend. Party in the Park brings everyone together on the waterfront lawn for four hours of live music, local food, cold drinks, artists, shopping, remembrance and a spectacular Key West sunset. THE

Fausto’s enters its second century under the leadership of Jimmy and Alton Weekley, still a grocery store, a social center and a place where unexpected encounters happen in the aisles and parking lot. For Buffett fans, it remains something increasingly rare: a real and accessible piece of the Key West he knew.

When Party in the Park wraps up on Sunday, September 6, take the easy two-block walk to American Legion Post 168 at 803 Emma Street for the official Friends of Bubba After Party, where everyone is invited to become part of the show.

The souvenir charity Event Badge begins as a collectible credential featuring this year’s tribute to Shrimp Boat Sound. Wear it around town and it quickly becomes something more: an easy way to recognize fellow festival friends, start a conversation and feel connected to the community gathering across the island.

Proposed lease would restore Shrimp Boat Sound as a working studio, interactive music museum and small outdoor tropical drink bar.

Following Jimmy Buffett's passing, Shrimp Boat Sound became an unlikely place of pilgrimage. Fans from around the world covered the studio with handwritten notes, flowers, photographs, guitar picks and thousands of stickers, creating one of the most heartfelt tributes Key West has ever witnessed.

Tucked away inside the Pier House Resort, the small darkly lit tavern was the gathering place for the island's assorted cast of characters. It was where deals were made — both the business kind and the illegal — often with the chief of police or the mayor sitting a few stools away.

When the final notes fade from Sunset Pier, the weekend isn't quite over yet. Join friends old and new for one last gathering as Just a Few Friends wraps up another unforgettable year in Key West. Following Cayman Smith-Martin & the Mango Men at Sunset Pier, the celebration moves to the all-new Smokin' Tuna Saloon for a special late-night performance featuring acclaimed songwriter and musician Will Kimbrough

For more than three decades, Nadirah's powerful voice helped define the sound of countless unforgettable performances around the world. Catch her at the Margaritaville After Party Sept. 3

Just a Few Friends has never been about simply attending concerts. It’s about experiencing Key West itself — the stories, the people, the bars, the water, the music, the sunsets, the weird little moments, and the feeling that for one long weekend the entire island becomes part of the show.
