Savannah's finest musicians gather to pay tribute to and perform all the songs you know and love by Jimmy Buffett. Savannah’s most sun-soaked, salt-rimmed, cheeseburger-filled celebration is back—and this year, it’s bigger, brighter, and beachier than ever. On October 17th, The Savannah Reefer Band returns for the 3rd Annual Tribute to Jimmy Buffett with a night dedicated to paradise, palm trees, and party vibes. This year’s theme? “The Return of the Cheeseburgers”—because no one should be wasting away without one. We’re calling all Parrotheads, beach bums, and island dreamers to gather at Victory North Savannah for an unforgettable concert experience where the only dress code is flip-flops and good vibes. And if you’re wondering why you should come, we’ve got 10 hilarious and completely compelling reasons: 1. No TSA, No Jet Lag – It’s like a beach vacation without leaving town. Margaritaville is pulling into Savannah, and your boarding pass is just a ticket away. 2. Margaritas Will Flow – Landshark beer and margarita specials start pouring at 6 p.m. Forget wine pairings—this night pairs best with salt, lime, and a paper umbrella. 3. Beach Bash Without the Beach – Surfboards, Hawaiian shirts, and inflatable flamingos encouraged. The courtyard opens at 6 p.m., and it’s a tailgate party like no other. 4. Flip-Flops = Formalwear – No need to dress up. Dress down and set your toes free. 5. Live Music That Transports You – With steel drums, Congas, and tropical beats, The Savannah Reefer Band channels the spirit of Buffett like they’ve been living in a tiki bar since '73. 6. Dance Like a Coconut Just Fell on Your Head – Whether you’re a conga-line pro or rhythmically hopeless, the dance floor is open and judgment-free. 7. Cheeseburgers in Paradise—Literally – We will be serving up juicy cheeseburgers straight from Buffett’s own culinary imagination. 8. “Best Dressed” Contest – Go bold or go home. This is your chance to wear something your friends would normally stage an intervention for. And win a prize doing it. 9. Pay Tribute to a Legend – Jimmy Buffett’s music has brought joy to generations. Join us as we sing, sway, and salute the man who made chill an art form. 10. You’ll Leave Happier – It’s impossible not to smile when surrounded by good music, better company, and the scent of sunscreen, beer, and grilled onions. For those looking to elevate their island escape, VIP seated tickets are available and come with a mouthwatering bonus—a cheeseburger included and Margaritas. That’s right, your premium ticket not only guarantees you a reserved seat in prime viewing territory, but also includes one of the legendary VN Burger to keep your Parrothead spirit properly fueled. No need to wait in line—just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show with a burger in one hand and a margarita in the other.
