I may be a couple weeks late in posting this but I’m still basking in the afterglow of this amazing event. In my humble opinion, the 12th annual Music on the Bay was the best one yet (and I’m not just saying that because I’m friends with the organizers).

The weather was perfect for a long weekend of dancing in the sand with friends new and old. It’s not just a music festival, Parrotheads party with a purpose, the entire goal is raise money for our local Shriners Hospital. Last year’s event raised $70,000!

While volunteering at the registration tent (the entire event is organized and run by volunteers) I learned that we broke the previous attendance record. Hopefully, that means we’ll also beat the fundraising record! It was such a phantastic time, so much phun hanging out with friends from all over the country.

Especially the Texas contingent, I didn’t know a single soul when I moved to Texas in 2019. Before relocating I found the Parrot Heads of Port Aransas club online and joined. I figured that people who love Jimmy Buffett’s music and get together to do good things in the community must be pretty cool. I wasn’t wrong, they welcomed me into their phlock with open arms and it’s been years of shenanigans ever since. Lucky me!
