SB08!
It's that time again! Spring Break 2008! It's a little chilly today...but it's supposed to be in the 70's this weekend.
The 70's! In February! It's going to be great beach weather for the handful of Canadian breakers or so that are already here...and surely, even better beach weather by the time the rest of you guys get down here.
Speaking of the beach...I've attached a screenshot from the Spinnaker beach live cam. As you can see, Spring Break preparations are being made. Rumor has it that a new party deck is being constructed! By the way, Spinnaker re-opens on Friday (the 29th) and the remodeling they've done looks amazing!
This year looks to be bigger and better than ever. MTVU is coming to town and bringing with them an amazing line-up of concerts that seems to include new names everyday. Here's how it looks so far:
- Paramore - March 13th, 2008
- Flo Rida- March 13th, 2008
- Kid Sister- March 18th, 2008
- Panic at the Disco - March 19th, 2008
- Cobra Starship- March 19th, 2008
Lupe Fiasco and We the Kings are also scheduled to appear, but no dates have been announced.
Other national acts will be performing including Yin Yang Twins, Puddle of Mudd, and Chevelle. For a complete list of all concerts and events in the area during Spring Break, check out our
Concerts and Events page.
We thought we'd take things up a notch this year too! TripSmarter.Com has launched a
24/7 Spring Break Channel so that you can keep an eye on all things Spring Break in Panama City Beach! We'll be streaming "Club Hour on Spring Break" footage and various other Spring Break programs all Spring Break long! But that's not all, we'll also be broadcasting LIVE from various locations, including the superclubs, poolside contests, the beach and more during Peak Weeks! We'll be announcing a complete schedule very soon.
That's about it for now. We'll be updating this thread
very often with new events, concerts, contests, weather reports, photos, and much more. We invite you to do the same!
In the meantime, check out last year's Spring Break report for a look at what you can expect this year:
