Tickets are on sale for the Aug. 24 Parrots of Caribbean event
MADISON – Tickets are now on sale for one of the most anticipated events of the year, which is just a month away. The Rotary Club of Madison is finalizing their preparations for the 17th annual Parrots of the Caribbean: Madison’s Premier Beach Party. It will be held on Saturday, Aug. 24, 6-11 p.m. at the Insanity Entertainment Complex, 100 Skate Park Dr, Madison.
Organizers promise an evening community celebration of live music, food, outdoor activities and libations,
“Once again, Parrot-heads and music lovers are invited to don their grass skirts, Hawaiian shirts, and island wear to enjoy dancing, dining and drinks in a fabulous island theme,” said Rotary spokesman Mike Keenan. “This celebration event has grown from a small gathering of Madison Rotarians to a spectacular event attended by over 700 guests from all over the Southeast.”
Back by popular demand is the island musical of Calypso Vision.
“Calypso Vision is a good ol’ rock and roll band with an island theme will get you started dreamin’ of good times and riches as well as boats, bars and beaches,” Keenan said.
Food will be included in the price of admission. Keenan said Smokey’s BBQ will cater a delicious Caribbean-style fare. Beverages, including soft drinks, domestic and craft beers, wine, and spirits, will be available for purchase as well.
Additionally, various baskets will be raffled off throughout the evening in support of this fun community benefit event.
The Rotary Club of Madison is an award winning community leader, supporting community service and vocational leadership projects. Organizers say all of the proceeds from Parrots benefit these projects and are vital to the continuation of their year-round “Service Above Self” efforts at home and abroad.
