Daytona… it’s time to slow things down and soak it all in.
On May 9th, we’re transforming Manatee Island into a tropical playground from 1 to 9pm. Kick off your Saturday afternoon in true island style: live bands with Buffett-inspired sets, a Bob Marley tribute, DJ's playing all your favorite Yacht-Rock and Reggae hits, beach-y cocktails, local food trucks, artisan vendors, games, and sunset vibes that carry you into island night.
Whether you’re a die-hard Parrothead, Reggae lover, or just someone hankering for a fun day under the palms, this event is your ticket to carefree island life for one unforgettable day.
Bring friends, family, and good energy — we’ll supply the margaritas, the steel-drums, the sun on your face, and the island spirit., plus all your favorite feel-good classics performed by Rising Lion (Full Band), The Trees of Life, Daytona's own C-Posse, and hosted by DJ Red i. We also have Ragady Lapsey on the Steel Drums and Savannah Savino playing an acoustic set to open the show.
