Welcome to the online home of the Western New York Parrothead Club. Located in and around Buffalo, New York, we are a spirited group who don't have to look far for a "party with a purpose". Chartered in 1997 by Parrotheads in Paradise, the Western New York Chapter was the 100th chapter to be recognized by the national organization of Jimmy Buffett Fan Clubs. Parrot Heads in Paradise, Inc. is a Not-For-Profit Corporation, whose purpose is to assist in community and environmental concerns and provide a variety of social activities for people who are interested in the music of Jimmy Buffett and the tropical lifestyle he personifies.

The Western New York Parrothead Club has moved the location of their monthly phlocking. We will now be gathering at Rafferty's Irish Pub in beautiful downtown Cheektovegas, NY. The phun usually begins about 6 pm or so with the meeting taking place about 7 pm.
