The postponement of the Jimmy Buffett concert in Gulf Shores, Ala., had a ripple effect in Fort Walton Beach.

Uptown Station had to postpone its Thursday event, a viewing party and concert.

Krystle Johnson, Uptown Station’s event coordinator, said the postponement to July 11 was not a problem. Plans for the live feed of the show, opening acts and margaritas at the Eglin Parkway shopping center have been carried over.

“We were very flexible with this. We’re just excited that the community is joining together to put on an event,” Johnson said.

Uptown Station will be the only location in Okaloosa County with a live feed on a blowup movie screen of the free Sunday concert.

“This was a promotional partnership between Uptown Station and Cox Communications. We worked through CMT to provide a feed to Central Park at Uptown Station,” said Sheila Nichols, spokeswoman for Cox Communications.

According to Uptown Station’s Facebook page, the event will start at 2 p.m. with live music. Acts include Reed Waddle, Jones & Company, Classic Brass, Chris Alvarado and Ron Byrd.

Cleanup supplies and monetary donations will be collected at the event.

“All the money that we’re raising goes to Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge,” Johnson said.

The concert was postponed this week because of safety concerns related to the possibility of a storm surge caused by Tropical Storm Alex.

“While the storm is not a threat to the area, increased water inundation at the beach may be dangerous for audience safety and will undermine the stability of the staging,” said an announcement on Buffett’s website.

The change of dates could free up a few tickets to the Gulf Shores show. The July 1 tickets went in less than 10 minutes on the day they were distributed.

All tickets for the July 1 event will be honored on July 11, but Buffett’s website recommended that ticket holders who cannot attend the new date cancel their tickets through Ticketmaster. All canceled tickets will be redistributed to the general public before the rescheduled performance.

Shalimar resident Bethany Burke planned to attend the Thursday night showing at Uptown Station. The Parrothead took the news of a postponed date with ease. She has been talking about the concert and knows a lot of people who will be at the newly scheduled Sunday viewing party.

“Actually, I’m glad it’s on Sunday rather than Thursday night. Sunday’s kind of a more laidback day,” she said. “It’s a good cause. It should be fun… as long as they put out some port-a-potties.”
