Margaritaville Resort Plans Three-Day ParrotPhest Featuring Live Music and Charity Raffles

The Fort Myers Beach resort will host ParrotPhest 2025, a beach music bash from Oct. 3-5. The event mixes live shows with games and charity raffles to support the Alzheimer's Association.

On Oct. 4, Radio Margaritaville's JD Spradlin starts the night with beats at Sunset Terrace from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Jim Asbell and the Tropiholics take over at 7 p.m., playing at both Sunset Terrace and License to Chill bar.

"We wanted to partner with the Parrot Head Club of Southwest Florida and the Villages Parrot Head Club and create an event where it was just trop rock all weekend long," said Marin Asher, according to Gulf Coast News.

The Southwest Florida Parrot Head Club runs local charity events with a twist. Susan Oates puts it best: "a drinking club with a community service problem." Their work spans from cooking at Ronald McDonald House to sorting supplies at Harry Chapin Food Bank.

For $5, guests can try their luck at winning stays across Margaritaville properties or a cruise for two. Three special baskets await lucky winners, stuffed with lottery tickets, branded items, and a sparkling wine set.

On Friday night, the best-dressed attendee wins three nights at the beachfront resort. Some bands will perform at Fins Up Beach Club. You can grab a day pass for pool access.

Meet musicians between sets, join musical brunches by the waves, and snap photos with exotic birds from Naples Bird Gardens. 

The event welcomes both overnight guests and day visitors. Visit the Margaritaville Resorts website for more information on ParrotPhest 2025.
