When 38 Special and Chris Janson rock Founders Park on Saturday, Nov. 3 guests have the option of chillin’ in lawn seats or experiencing the music in the exclusive VIP section. 

“This is a musical experience never before seen in the Florida Keys,” said event organizer Sharon Mahooney-Ellenwood. “VIPs get their own entrance, private restrooms, open bars and unlimited food created by some of Islamorada’s most renowned chefs. We even have a walkway that will take them from the VIP section right to the stage.”

Ellenwood, most known for her Casting for Cats backcountry fishing tournaments, said she is thrilled to bring a new event to the Upper Keys while supporting three worthwhile non-profits, including Mangrove Mike’s Everglades Education program and the Big Dog Ranch Rescue. 

The gates open at 3 p.m. and the concert is expected to kick off at 5 pm. DJ Wood will be spinning records between acts. 

Event info and general admission tickets ($75) are available online at FloridaBayMusicFestival.com. VIP tickets can be purchased by calling Ellenwood directly at 305-664-2012 or emailing info@floridabaymusicfestival.com.
