Margaritaville Lake Resort on Lake Conroe is inviting Jimmy Buffett fans to keep the party going in memory of the late Trop Rock singer with “Jimmy Buffett Day” Friday. 

Buffett died Sept. 1, 2023 at age 76 from skin cancer. His iconic song “Margaritaville” was the inspiration for tropical-themed resorts across the U.S. and in several countries. The Lake Conroe resort opened in June 2020. 

Here’s what to know about “Jimmy Buffett Day” at Margaritaville Lake Resort and other Labor Day weekend events at the resort:

Special musical tributes are planned for Friday and Saturday night. 

A Jimmy Buffett Musical Tribute by Phillip Lee is set for 6 to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday in Palm Court and then again from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. these days in the Boathouse Bar & Lounge.  

”Margaritaville is a global lifestyle brand inspired by the lyrics and lifestyle of singer, songwriter and best-selling author Jimmy Buffett, whose songs evoke a passion for tropical escape and relaxation which is at the center of the Margaritaville Lake Resort, Lake Conroe-Houston’s vision and purpose; what better way to celebrate and honor Jimmy Buffett’s life and legacy,” said Tom Faust, vice president, sales and marketing at Margaritaville Lake Resort. 

Commemorative “Jimmy Buffett Day” items such as shirts, jackets, sweatshirts, cups, hats and bags will be available for purchase this weekend. 

Partying with a purpose 

To further honor Buffett’s legacy and his heart for service, the resort will donate $1 from each “Jimmy Buffett Day” special drink purchased in a special commemorative cup to Child Advocates of Montgomery County. 

Through the nonprofit, volunteer advocates provide information and assistance to those in the child welfare system, in the juvenile justice system and youth struggling with school attendance or participation. The group recently rebranded from the CASA organization to Child Advocates of Montgomery County. 

Through Labor Day weekend, the resort is offering the “Keep The Party Going” package. Enjoy everything Margaritaville Lake Resort has to offer, including access to the Jolly Mon Water Park and onsite dining at LandShark Bar & Grill, License to Chill Bar & Cafe and Joe Merchant’s Coffee and Provisions.

Book by Friday and a portion of the proceeds from the stay will benefit Child Advocates of Montgomery County. Two special edition commemorative cups are included with each package.
