CANCELLED. The first few days of November hosts the 27th Annual ‘Meeting of the Minds’, a yearly gathering of parrot heads (Jimmy Buffet fans) in Key West is already sold out, but that shouldn’t stop you from partying on the fringe of the festival. Although you won’t be able to get into the Casa Marina concerts without a ticket, head over to Louie’s Backyard for a drink on the afterdeck and we promise you’ll be able to hear the tunes loud and clear.
