The musical element of this years event expands by featuring the first Key West appearance of The Santana Tribute Band, lead by Galo Rivera, who states, "It's not a musical thing. It's a musical experience." The rocking musical menu starts at 11:00 am when songwriter/humorist Mike McCloud and Friends takes the stage. They are followed by the powerful, soulful sounds of Moose and the Bulletproof Blues Band. Later, enjoy the "Sounds of Santana", "When you can close your eyes and feel the positive energy and love in the air."
