The Just a Few Friends, Key West 2025 festival returns Aug. 28–Sept. 1, bringing music, camaraderie and the island spirit, all inspired by Key West’s favorite son, Jimmy Buffett. The multiday event features live performances, island experiences and signature gatherings. Pier House Resort & Spa, a beloved Florida Keys resort for nearly 60 years nestled between Old Town Key West and the ocean, hosts Just a Few Friends, Key West 2025 special events and happenings at Chart Room.

 

“This weekend is about more than just music—it’s about honoring a lifestyle,” said Robert Spoto, vice president/general manager, Remington Hospitality. “Jimmy Buffett helped put Key West on the map, and Just a Few Friends is our way of keeping that laidback spirit alive with great music, strong drinks, and good company.”

 

Just a Few Friends, Key West 2025 events at Pier House Resort & Spa and sister hotel La Concha Key West include:

  • 28, 6–8 p.m.: Meet up at Chart Room at Pier House Resort & Spa
