Events organized to honor the life and musical legacy of Jimmy Buffett have taken place across Florida. In late August and early September 2026, Key West hosted the “Just a Few Friends” celebration, which included a guided plein air painting experience at Shrimp Boat Sound and Louie’s Backyard.

The festivities continued through Labor Day weekend with a Second Line Memorial Walking Parade on Duval Street, featuring fans in tropical attire. Looking ahead, the second annual ParrotPhest is scheduled for early October in Fort Myers Beach, featuring live music and a raffle to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association.
