The Full VIP Experience is the ultimate way to take advantage of all that SOS Fest has to offer. On Friday evening, kick off the weekend with our Maritime Museum Welcome Reception which includes an exclusive sneak preview of the highly anticipated Jimmy Buffett Experience slated to open September 2026. You will get a firsthand glimpse at this immersive, multi-gallery exhibit of Buffett's life and career before anyone else. Special memorabilia will be on display, and museum staff will give a multi-media presentation of behind-the-scenes plans and renderings. You can also savor delicious food and drinks while enjoying panoramic views of the Mobile River. You do not want to miss this one-of-a-kind event.
