Florida has declared Aug. 30 as Jimmy Buffett Day. To celebrate, Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers Beach and Compass Hotel By Margaritaville Naples invite you to join them and “Keep the Party Going.” Both Margaritaville locations will be hosting special events throughout Labor Day weekend, beginning on Aug. 30, coinciding with Jimmy Buffett Day. These events are open to the public and include live music performances, food and drink specials, games and fundraising initiatives.

Guests can also enjoy JD Spradlin from Radio Margaritaville, who will be broadcasting live from Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers Beach on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. He will broadcast live from Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Naples on Sunday, Sept. 1, from 3 to 7 p.m. “This day and weekend are being planned in the spirit of Jimmy as we strive to emulate his good nature, kindness and spirit of fun in all we do,” said Liz Morris, area director of sales and marketing.

Jimmy Buffett Day will become an annual day of service at Margaritaville properties across the nation, providing all hotels and resorts an opportunity to do something great in their respective communities in the spirit of Jimmy. Several fundraising initiatives are underway at both Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers Beach and Compass by Margaritaville Naples.

Under a limited time, “Keep the Party Going” room package, guests will receive 20% off along with two commemorative cups and a nightly $5 contribution will be donated to a local community partner. The room package is available at both properties through Aug. 31 for stays through the end of 2024. Some restrictions may apply. At Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Naples, the nightly $5 contribution will be donated to Harry Chapin Food Bank. The money from this initiative on Fort Myers Beach will go to FMB Strong, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the community on Fort Myers Beach as it rebuilds from Hurricane Ian.
