ParrotPhest returns to Fort Myers Beach for Oct. 1-4 trop rock weekend

FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. - Rezul -- Jimmy Buffett Day may be a year away, but the spirit of Margaritaville is strong as ever as ParrotPhest makes its return to Fort Myers Beach on Oct. 1.

Through Oct. 4, Parrotheads are invited to party with a purpose at the second annual ParrotPhest, hosted by Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers Beach, The Villages Parrotheads and the Southwest Florida Parrot Head Club.

Parrotheads are encouraged to make a difference by participating in a 50/50 raffle to benefit the Alzheimer's Association. Prizes include Parrothead club baskets and future Margaritaville brand stays. Raffle tickets are $5 each. Last year's inaugural ParrotPhest raised $7,000 for the Alzheimer's Association.

The weekend kicks off on Thursday, Oct. 1, with live music from 7 to 10 p.m. Guests can take their pick of upbeat island rhythms and trop rock classics with Caribbean Chillers at License to Chill Bar & Grill or smooth coastal vibes and storytelling with Stephen Clark at Lah De Dah Beach Bar & Grill.
