After a successful opening year for her Music and Arts Festival, Connie Conch realized that she still felt like something was missing. Some sort of extinct energy that hasn’t been seen on the festival scene since the caveman days.

“I found me some new interests since last year’s festival. I’ve been explorin’ the globe with Ronnie–yeah, yeah, I know we’re divorced, but that man’s been inspirin’ me again–” Connie shoots me a smirk as she continues to tease her plans for the 2024 festival season, “So after a lil globe-trottin’ we came upon this dinosaur rejuvenation operation…one thing led to another, and we decided a zoo would be too basic for my beloved Conch Island.”

“So here we are, investin’ in some newfangled dinosaur DNA reconstruction projects and givin’ them a home here on Conch Island. Really bringin’ the party vibes harder than an asteroid hit during Prehistoric times!”

“We’ve also been doin’ some real science-y terrformin’ to make the land and sea more hospitable for dinos and mermaids alike!” Connie beams at me with a glint in her eyes, “I just can’t hardly wait for the guests and partygoers to join us in Mer May 2024!”

You can catch what Connie Conch is talking about and much more at Conch Island — a virtual 2-region arts & music festival.
