The Inland Empire Parrot Head Club (IEPHC) is a non-profit organization bringing people together through friendship, tropical PHun, and a passion for giving back. Since 2015, we’ve been celebrating Jimmy Buffett’s legacy by living two simple ideals that define everything we do.
Whether you’re a lifelong Buffett fan or just discovering the flip-flop lifestyle, there’s always room for another chair in the PHlock.
We can’t wait to welcome you.
Every PHlocking, PHundraiser, and gathering helps support our communities and care for our environment. Together, we’re turning good times into good deeds, one celebration at a time.
We celebrate Jimmy Buffett’s life, legacy, and the Margaritaville state of mind by bringing people together through music, laughter, kindness, and lasting PHriendships. Every PHlocking helps keep that spirit alive for generations of Parrot Heads to come.
📅 Date: Friday, August 14
⏰ Time: 6 PM
📍 Location: The Port of Indecision (aka Brett & Wendy’s)
Summer isn’t over yet, and neither are the good times.
Join the PHlock for an evening of backyard BBQ, cold drinks, great PHriends, and the kind of laid-back Margaritaville state of mind that reminds us why August is one of the best months of the year.
The grill will be fired up, the conversation will be flowing, and there’s a good chance someone will insist they make the world’s best burger. We’ll let you be the judge.
Bring your BYOBeverage and a side dish or snack to share. Then settle in for an evening of laughter, backyard stories, and enough PHun to make you forget summer eventually has to end.
Whether you’re a longtime PHlocker or joining us for the first time, there’s always room around the table.
Come hungry. Leave happy.
Let’s PHlock! 🍔🍹🌴

Lake Coeur d’Alene Cruises
This year we’re trading our traditional September PHlocking for an unforgettable evening on the water as we celebrate Jimmy Buffett Day aboard the Lake Coeur d’Alene Cruises National Jimmy Buffett Day Cruise!
Join your fellow Parrot Heads as we honor Jimmy’s incredible legacy the best way we know how: surrounded by great PHriends, tropical tunes, spectacular lake views, and a whole lot of Margaritaville state of mind. Throw on your favorite Hawaiian shirt, tropical attire, or Parrot Head gear, grab a frozen concoction from the onboard bar, and help us Keep the Party Going.
This is a public cruise hosted by Lake Coeur d’Alene Cruises, so tickets must be purchased directly through the cruise operator. Space is limited, so don’t wait to reserve your spot. We’ll have a designated gathering area before boarding so our PHlock can head aboard together.
Cruise Details
Ready to celebrate the music, memories, and lifestyle that brought us all together? We can’t think of a better way to toast Jimmy than with a sunset cruise on beautiful Lake Coeur d’Alene.
Fins Up, PHlockers. We’ll see you on the water!
