Jimmy Buffett Legacy Celebrated with Global Festivals, Day of Service Events

Key West and Margaritaville communities across the U.S. are celebrating Jimmy Buffett's legacy through a series of events during the Labor Day weekend, including music festivals, runs, and charity initiatives. The “Just a Few Friends Festival” in Key West features concerts, historic walks, and the Parrots and Margaritas 5K, all honoring Buffett's influence on island culture and his connection to the area. Margaritaville locations nationwide, including Tulsa and Panama City Beach, are hosting Days of Service, blood drives, benefit concerts, and other activities to give back to their communities, reflecting Buffett's spirit of generosity and community support. The second annual Jimmy Buffett Day includes promotions, room packages, and fundraising efforts benefiting nonprofits like Singing for Change, which Buffett founded to support inclusive grassroots organizations. Buffett, who passed away from Merkel-cell carcinoma in 2024, continues to inspire fans and communities through these celebrations and charitable work associated with his Margaritaville brand. Local 10 News plans to air "Jimmy Buffett: A Trip Around The Sun," highlighting his life and enduring legacy.
