The Rock Boat Festival
Your Rock Boat Can’t Miss Event will start on January 23, 2023 in Miami, Florida. Five days on the water, or not. Four ports to explore – Miami, Puerto Plata, Nassau and back to Miami. I’m counting Miami twice! Water time. Beach time. And with over a dozen artists performing throughout the cruise, there will definitely be music time. At the time of this post The Rock Boat had officially sold the last open stateroom. There is a wait list you be be placed on if you are still interested in attending. Find updates here. I am definitely putting this event on my to do list for 2024! Who is with me? Photo courtesy of The Rock Boat.

Days of the Dead Atlanta

This Can’t Miss Event is scheduled to take place January 27 – 29, 2023 at the Sheraton Atlanta Hotel. Days of the Dead Atlanta will be a little dark, a little scary and a whole lotta fun! Their website states Days of the Dead is chock full of special events tailored just for the fans, an active after hours scene of horror themed parties, and a massive guest list of the hottest celebrity guests, artists, and up and coming independent film makers. Who could ask for anything more?! Well…… did I mention Malcolm McDowell is one of the special celebrity guests! I, still to this day, am unable to watch all the way through Clockwork Orange without pausing at least once and stepping away for a moment. Am I the only one?! The complete celebrity guest list can be found here. Photos courtesy of Day of the Dead Atlanta.
