Parrot Heads in Paradise

Season is in full swing and after the grand opening of our season with a tremendous Fantasy Festival, the island is ready to entertain and enthrall.  Visitors to the island this week my come across fully grown adults with Parrot Head hats on, or a Shark Head hat and donned in Hawaiian garb.  Do not be alarmed, these are the 'Parrot Heads' and they descend on Key West every year to celebrate life, living in the moment and to honor their mentor, Jimmy Buffet.  This November 1-November 4th is the 21st annual 'Meeting of the Minds" convention, the gathering of Parrot Heads from across the nation.  The convention activities are mainly for the registered Parrot Heads, but those of us who are not in the club can enjoy the great music and a street fair that will be taking place in honor of the Parrot Heads. Friday Nov 2 from 1-5:30pm is the Margaritaville Street Festival on the corner of Duval and Fleming Streets.  On Sunday November 4 the Green Parrot Bar and the Schooner Wharf will be jamming Caribbean Music and Magic for all to enjoy.  Enjoy the show!
