What Is A Parrothead ?

To answer your question…We are people who enjoy the Jimmy Buffett lifestyle and believe in his idealism of "doing something nice for the planet. " We are a group of people who not only like to party, but enjoy getting involved in a variety of community and environmental services.

Our motto is "Party for a Purpose". We hold events and volunteer time for different causes.
