THANK YOU, FRIENDS. š“ā¤ļø
What a weekend!
For six unforgettable days, Key West was filled with music, memories and friends from near and farāand now weāre left trying to find the words to thank everyone who made Just a Few Friends 2026 so special.
And Key West⦠you showed up!
To everyone who traveled from near and far to spend Labor Day Weekend with us, thank you. You filled our streets, bars, boats, beaches, parks and stages with the kind of energy that reminds us exactly why we do this.
To our sponsors, volunteers, musicians, performers, host hotels, venues, production crews, vendors, photographers, bartenders, servers, security and public safety teams, City partners, event hosts and everyone working behind the scenesāthis weekend simply could not happen without you.
To the Key West businesses, residents and community members who welcomed a whole lot of friends to our little island, thank you for helping us show them what makes this place so special.
And to everyone who bought a badge, joined the Second Line, danced on Duval, ate a cheeseburger, drank a margarita, grew a mustache, sang along, volunteered or simply showed up to be part of itā¦
You are Just a Few Friends.
Your support also helps us give back to organizations doing important work in our community: Reef Relief, the Bahama Village Music Program and local Highschool scholarship fund which is so important to our mission.
Thank you for helping this weekend mean something long after the last song ended.
At the heart of all of this is Jimmy.
His music brought so many of us to Key West. His stories made people fall in love with this island before they ever set foot here. And the friendships created because of that music continue to bring us back together.
This weekend was our way of saying thank you.
Thank you for the music. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for Key West. And thank you for giving all of us a reason to keep getting together with Just a Few Friends. ā¤ļø
We hope that somewhere along the way, you had one of those momentsāduring a song, walking in the Second Line, standing on Duval Street, watching the sunset or laughing with someone you had just metāwhen you thought:
We can't help but believe Jimmy would have loved this.
Thatās what we were hoping for.
And friends⦠weāre not done. š“
