Happy Jimmy Buffett Day!

We sure are lucky to have Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort right down the road

Today, August 29th, is Jimmy Buffett Day—a celebration of his music, spirit and generosity.

Margaritaville communities everywhere are marking the day with service projects, live music, margarita-fueled fun and plenty of island vibes.

Here at home, our friends at Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort are throwing a beachfront party with live tunes, tropical drinks and good times.

Of course, if you’re up for a road trip, Key West is hosting the heartfelt “Just a Few Friends” Celebration, this weekend, honoring Jimmy on the island he loved most.

So grab your flip-flops, raise a glass and remember—it’s always 5 o’clock somewhere. Happy Jimmy Buffett Day! 🌺🍍

I love music. It’s really what got me into radio to begin with. You should see my record collection: from Michael Jackson and Elton John, to Led Zeppelin and The Stones, to old school hip-hop and dance music ... (Well you get the idea!)
