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.
🎵 MUSIC

✨ VIP EXPERIENCE
The VIP Experience is the ultimate way to enjoy the inaugural Son Of A Sailor Fest! As a VIP (Very Important Pirate), details to come!
🕺 SECOND LINE
Jimmy often said he was a “child of the Mardi Gras,” which makes sense as Mobile is home to the oldest carnival celebration in the United States. So there is no better way to kick off the party than with a brass band and a parade down the historic streets of Downtown Mobile!
Stay tuned for parade details!
