🎶🌴 Get ready to kick off your sandals and sway to the rhythm of the tropics! 🌴🎶

This Labor Day Weekend, on August 29 & 30, 2025, join us for a celebration of island vibes, good friends, and the timeless music of the one and only Jimmy Buffett. In a magical fusion of talent and tribute, some of the brightest stars in Trop Rock are coming together to form Gypsies in Paradise. Led by the renowned Le

fty Lucy Band and featuring the 15-time Trop Rock award-winning Sunny Jim, Steel Pan phenom John Patti, along with go to studio musicians and killer live players Jax Bowers, Klee Liles, and Aloha Steve, this band is dedicated to honoring the musical legacy of Jimmy Buffett. Our MC for the night will be none other than Steve Huntington, one of the ORIGINAL DJ's on Margaritaville, currently featured on Radio Trop Rock radio. They bring their signature blend of infectious energy and laid-back melodies to the stage and will transport you to a world of sunshine and surf! With hits like "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "Margaritaville," they'll have you singing along and dancing the night away. So grab your grass skirts and Hawaiian shirts, and get ready for a night of endless summer vibes! Whether you're a die-hard Parrot Head or simply looking for a taste of paradise, "Gypsies in Paradise" promises an experience you won't soon forget. Join us as we honor the musical legacy of Jimmy Buffett and keep the concert tradition alive. Plus, the parking lot will be open for traditional concert tailgating, so you can keep the party going before the show!
