The Son of a Sailor Fest will be held in Cathedral Square.
According to information released by Visit Mobile, the inaugural Son of a Sailor Fest will take place Sept. 21 in Cathedral Square. It’s described as a “family-friendly street festival” with a second-line parade and a musical lineup topped by Jimmy Buffett tribute band A1A., days after Buffett’s death on Sept. 1.
Brennan said at the time he’d heard a lot of interest expressed in a follow-up, but wasn’t sure how that would work. More recently, inI didn’t get through the day of the parade without a dozen people asking me, ‘This will be a yearly event, right?’” Brennan said. “More and more interest rolled in throughout the weeks that followed. Simply put, we immediately knew we had something special that needed to happen again.
The Son of a Sailor Fest is being produced by the nonprofit organization SouthSounds Music and Arts Festival, Inc. Brennan said the fest is the product of a partnership with Visit Mobile, Downtown Mobile Alliance, Mobile County, the city of Mobile and Jimmy’s sister,. “Lucy’s fantastic, renowned beach restaurant destination, LuLu’s, is a generous sponsor and we couldn’t be more excited,” he said. “Having Lucy as a part of Son of a Sailor Fest is very special and something we really cherish.
