Those rowdy Beach Boys. If that is a real story, it is a funny one.
Boomer, the back of the tickets read, "no refunds," and my guess is that they are sticking with it. The unofficial word from unofficial Seaside peeps, regarding next week's events, is that Friday will be open to the general public, but still no outside food and beverages. Sat, Sun and Mon will have daily ticket sales, and I'm not sure on pricing. I've heard some whack-O prices and they may just be talk.

Well, that topic is probably for another thread, but I believe Tootsie's, a Nashville hot-spot, also located in Pier Park, will be opening this coming week, so they may be having a Country-fest.

There's a lot of *****in and moanin here about a pretty cool event. No doubt the promoters should have incorporated Seaside merchants - they should all have tents inside, and if they don't want one - give it to somebody else. The rest looks like people complaining about not getting in for free and being able to park within 20 feet of the event. To those ........ pass me some of what you're smokin. BTW, Rebirth was awesome!

Respectfully, the above statement should be clarified with several facts.
At a DSA (Merchants of Seaside) general meeting on 12/20/07, merchant attendees were told that the Board had decided the Seaside Spring Wine Festival would be replaced by "Journey Through Jazz" in 2008.
The merchants as a whole were never asked by the Board or DSA office if they wanted the Spring Wine Festival ended. The merchants as a whole were never asked by the Board or DSA office if they wanted a Jazz event.
Thus, both decisions appear to have been made solely by the Board. The majority of merchants had no input nor knowledge until the Jazz event was announced by the Board at that meeting as being a done deal.
the spring wine fest is no more?
sounds like a bunch of local politics to me. thanks for the insider info BBim

With all due respect to the wonderful musicians, I now know the answer to "what if they had a jazz fest and nobody came."
I don't know what was going on, but I actually counted the number of people in the amphitheatre at 5:30 pm today - 110 max and that includes the kids playing w/ a frisbee and ball like it was a normal Sunday.
Something was VERY rotten in the state of Denmark - even with all the stupid (and empty) tents taking up half the amphitheatre parking spaces and the childish faded marker signs telling people "no parking" in the spaces along 30-A, I had to park further away on Cinco de Mayo for the Taco Bar!

This is so sad....with so many businesses, restaurants, etc. giving out incentives to get people in...what are the Seaside folks thinking?
