🎶 Jammy Buffet is taking over the Main Stage on Saturday, October 3rd at the North Carolina Seafood Festival! 🌴🎸

With a sound that blends Jimmy Buffett’s coastal storytelling and “Gulf & Western” style with jam-band improvisation, Jammy Buffet brings fresh energy to all the classics you know and love. Expect a mix of singalong hits, deep cuts, and laid-back island vibes that keep the party going all night long.

Catch them live from 8:00–9:00 PM, stick around for fireworks at 9:00 PM, then they’re back on stage from 9:30–10:30 PM. 🎆

It’s free. It’s live. And it’s the perfect way to spend your Saturday on the Morehead City waterfront.
