Cajun Fest Will Open it's Doors at 4 PM, Thursday Night May 22, 08!

We are proud to announce Grand Panama Beach Resort is the host site sponsor for the Panama City Beach Cajun Fest @ Grand Panama... May 16th, 17th, 18th, and May 23, 24, 25, 2008 - 2 great fun-filled weekends on Panama City Beach!

As most of you know, years ago, we had a Cajun fest named the Hamilton's Cajun Fest and it was a great festival. So successful, it outgrew it's location and who knows why, but just disappeared.

Emerald Coast Events is resurrecting the festival in all its Spicy Cajun Zest and Appeal...Combine a mixture of Cajun and Creole music and this equals Zydeco... Add some fresh boiled Crawfish, Gumbo or Shrimp Jambalaya, throw in a cold beverage combined with some great times and you've created a recipe for a true Southwest Louisiana Cajun Fest...Again, we are proud to partner with Grand Panama Beach Resort as the official site... Please visit www.grandpanamabeachresort.com to view the location. Grand Panama Beach Resort, 11501 Hutchinson Blvd. Panama City Beach, 32407.

Appearing Saturday Night

SINCE 1990, THE SAUCE BOSS HAS FEED OVER 148,000 PEOPLE, ALL FOR FREE while he playing his own swampy Florida blues. A Sauce Boss event transcends performance. It's a soul-shouting picnic of rock & roll brotherhood, involving everyone. And at the end of the show, everyone eats.

JIMMY BUFFETT SINGS ABOUT THE SAUCE BOSS in his "I Will Play for Gumbo" song. Parrotheads are now phlocking from all over the country and are also bringing the Sauce Boss to "play' and a' sway' with the gumbo" at their events. Festivals and performing arts centers throughout the US, Canada, and Europe are featuring the Sauce Boss and his gumbo. His songs "Let the Big Dog Eat" and "Great Big Fanny" appeared on the Jimmy Buffett compilation album "Margaritaville Café Late Night Menu". NPR's "All Things Considered" and "Morning Edition" have both covered the Sauce Boss. CNN and EXTRA sent film crews to New York City Sauce Boss extravaganzas in 2000, The Food Network's series "Extreme Cuisine" visited the Sauce Boss on location in New York, and another Food Network series "Keith Famie's Adventures" filmed a Sauce Boss show in Miami. The Sauce Boss is the only personality that’s been featured in “Living Blues”, “GQ”, AND "Gourmet Magazine
