Music and Phun by the galveston beach since 1998
Now in its 24th year, Riddles in the Sand is one of the oldest Parrot Head events.
Long styled as a ‘Summer Camp for Parrotheads’, but without counselors and with plenty of alcohol, Riddles ‘campers’, relaxing in colorful tents decorated with parrots, pirates, sharks, and other emblems of Buffett culture, enjoy a two-day pool party by the Galveston seawall while being treated to entertainment by musicians from the burgeoning Texas Trop Rock music scene.

This party has a purpose
Lighthouse Charity Team is the Primary Recipient of RITS Proceeds
Since its founding in 1984 by Dick and Horacene Daugird at a Muscular Dystrophy fundraiser held at his insurance office in a building shaped like a lighthouse, the team has prepared meals for charity fundraisers, civic organizations and first responders at disaster sites. They now operate a fleet of 15 fully equipped cooking trailers enabling them to support several different events a week.
RITS Also Supports the Alzheimer's Foundation and Shriner's Hospital
As Parrotheads we honor Jimmy Buffett's father by doing what we can to support the fight against Alzheimer's.
