2nd Annual Just a Few Friends Celebration Key West

Celebrate the 2nd Annual Just a Few Friends Festival in Key West – Labor Day 2025

The Just a Few Friends Festival returns to Key West for its second annual celebration over Labor Day weekend, August 29 – September 1, 2025. This beloved event honors Jimmy Buffett’s legacy, bringing together fans, friends, and the local community for four days of music, camaraderie, and giving back. Following the overwhelming success of the inaugural festival, the 2025 edition promises even more exciting events, live performances, and charitable fundraising.

A Celebration with a Purpose

The first Just a Few Friends Festival raised an impressive $34,000 for two local nonprofits: the Bahama Village Music Program and Reef Relief. These organizations provide essential resources for young musicians and marine conservation efforts in the Florida Keys. The 2025 festival aims to surpass this milestone, ensuring that every souvenir parade badge purchased directly benefits these impactful causes.

Festival Highlights – What to Expect

Attendees can look forward to a packed schedule featuring music, food, drinks, and iconic Key West experiences. Among the most anticipated events is the Second Line Parade, where thousands of fans will take to the streets in a spirited procession honoring Buffett’s enduring influence on the island. Other can’t-miss activities include:

• Live Music Performances featuring local and national acts
• Food & Drink Events showcasing Key West’s vibrant culinary scene
• Bar Crawls through some of the island’s most famous watering holes
• Charity Auctions & Fundraisers benefiting local causes
• Sunset Gatherings to celebrate Buffett’s legacy in true island style

Supporting Key West’s Charities

All proceeds from parade badge sales and select event fundraisers will be managed by the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys, ensuring that donations are distributed responsibly. Contributions will support programs like the Bahama Village Music Program’s new recording studio, set to open in early 2025, and Reef Relief’s marine conservation education efforts that have already reached over 15,500 students worldwide.
