We caught up with one of the event's organizers to get the inside scoop on this rockin' party!
What can guests expect? The evening will begin at 5 p.m. with Peter Mayer, Scott Kirby, and Brendan Mayer (and their guitars) providing an intimate performance of great songs and stories. Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefers Michael Utley and Doyle Grisham, along with the John Frinzi Band, will continue the entertainment throughout the night.
Food and drinks? There's no need to eat dinner before arriving at the Boatyard Beach Bash - both VIP and general admission ticket-holders can indulge in the extensive grilled dinner buffet, provided by Boatyard Bar & Grill. As for drinks, each guest will receive two complimentary drink vouchers and a cash bar is available with speciality cocktails -- all to be enjoyed on the idyllic beachside setting.
