July 23, 2008 - Alton Hosts Block Parties on the Meeting of the Great Rivers

The Jimmy Buffett Parrothead Party is to be held this July 26th along the Meeting of the Great Rivers Scenic Route.

It is one of a series of lively block parties scheduled to be held at Alton, IL on the last Saturday of the month through Sept. 27. It features the returning Phin Band, a Jimmy Buffett cover band that actually played with Buffet once at one of his Margaritaville restaurants. People arrive in droves for this party, wearing their favorite Parrothead apparel for dancing in the street, determinedly armed with - as Buffet might say - a License to Chill.
