Just a Few Friends, Favorite Son Celebration
Just a Few Friends is a one-of-a-kind festival celebrating music, community, and island life in beautiful Key West over Labor Day Weekend. Inspired by the laid-back spirit of trop rock and the legacy of Key West’s favorite son, this gathering brings together fans, friends, and artists for five days of unforgettable moments.
Proceeds from the sale of the festival’s signature Event Badge—administered through the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys—support three vital local nonprofit organizations: Reef Relief, Bahama Village Music Program, and the Key West High School Marching Band. These partners reflect the values at the heart of the festival—protecting our environment, nurturing local talent, and uplifting the next generation of island leaders. Through these contributions, Just a Few Friends helps sustain marine conservation efforts, provide accessible arts education, and fund essential resources for the student musicians who will lead the next great parade through Old Town.
