About

Son Of A Sailor Fest – or S.O.S. Fest – is a celebration of Jimmy Buffett and Gulf Coast culture in his waterfront hometown of Mobile, Alabama along the Gulf of Mexico. This family-friendly street festival features a rollicking second line parade through downtown, parrot-head costume contests, and musical acts inspired by Jimmy Buffett and the area’s unique and colorful coastal culture.S.O.S. Fest began in 2023 as a free impromptu celebration-of-life second line parade and tribute concert, called the Jimmy Buffett Hometown Second Line, immediately following Jimmy Buffett’s death. Organized in only seven days with zero budget and limited marketing, the event drew thousands of fans from as far as Chicago, Miami, and San Antonio in addition to dozens of amazing musicians to celebrate Jimmy’s life and music in the streets of Mobile, where it all started.The vision has only grown from that rag-tag party. The first annual Son Of A Sailor Festival aims to celebrate and recognize the life and music of Jimmy Buffett in his hometown, offer fans an opportunity to connect to Buffett’s roots, champion the unique and colorful music and culture of the Gulf Coast, and promote the love for life, coastal attitude his music embodies.
