Well, the success of the First Annual Marco Island Beach Music Festival surely bodes well to likelihood of a second! What a fantastic time … and for a very good cause.
This was a class-act event from beginning to end! The Jetset Surf Shop hosted a skim board competition throughout the day. The restaurants below participated in the “Best Burger in Paradise” contest – and all of them were awesome!
- Cafe De Marco
- CJ’s on the Bay
- Captain Brien’s Seafood & Rawbar
- The Crazy Flamingo
- Quinn’s on the Beach
- 400 Pazzi’s
- Porky’s Last Stand
- Guy Harvey’s Island Grill
- Marco Island Brewery
The stage was set up right on the expansive and beautiful Marco Island beach. The Sunset Beach Concert included performers The Sheffield Crew, Casey Weston , and SLAROK, which is led by the Marriott food and beverage directory. The Landsharks Band, a Jimmy Buffet tribute band, surely got everyone in that “island state of mind”!
The event concluded with a spectacular fireworks display. Check out the video below.
Charities that benefitted from the event are Children’s Miracle Network, American Cancer Society, Marco Island YMCA, and Friends of Rookery Bay.
