Sail into summer at the Hiawassee DDA's 4th Annual FUN-Draiser featuring A1A - The Official & Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show! On July 18, 2026, we're taking Towns County straight to paradise. Doors open at 5:30pm and the concert kicks off at 7pm. It will be an evening of classic island vibes and feel-good Buffett energy! This isn't just a concert — it's an experience. Kick back island-style with food trucks, browse a huge silent auction, try your luck with our wine pull, and throw your fins up for a 50/50 raffle. Two ticket tiers help you choose your version of paradise: General Admission – bring your flip-flops and enjoy the island breeze. VIP Tables – six premium seats closest to the stage, a delicious charcuterie board, two bottles of wine, and complimentary water/tea/lemonade. It's basically a “Cheeseburger in Paradise” level upgrade… minus the cheeseburger (but trust us, the food trucks have you covered). And here's the best part: every ticket sold helps us grow the Paris Business Center, Hiawassee's new hub for entrepreneurship and community innovation. The PBC is a thriving small business center and incubator where our region's businesses can test ideas, attend workshops, and find the support they need to succeed. When you party with us, you're fueling local jobs, expanding resources for small business owners, and helping this revitalized historic building shine in the heart of downtown. Now that's a reason to raise a glass! A1A brings the authenticity, energy, and beach-party magic that venues nationwide call a 10 out of 10, “pure escapism,” and “an experience!” If you're ready for an unforgettable night on island time, grab your tickets now, because it's always 5 o'clock in Hiawassee on July 18th. Fins up — we'll see you at the FUN-Draiser!
