Free General Admission Tickets to Be Offered for Island Celebration

GRAND CAYMAN (December 7, 2017) – Today, Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa announces its second annual Seafire Stage, which will be held on Saturday, January 13 at 8 p.m. on the resort’s grounds along Seven Mile Beach. Seafire Stage celebrates the spirit of Grand Cayman with a free-to-the-public beach concert featuring award-winning headlining artists, curated by Kimpton’s talented entertainment department. Those interested are encouraged to save the date now, as the upcoming headliner will be announced in early January on Seafire’s Instagram account. For a list of where and how to acquire tickets, including VIP options, visit here.

“We’re thrilled to host such an exciting event,” said Steven Andre, General Manager of the resort. “Our team is looking forward to welcoming everyone back to our second annual Seafire Stage and to show off our ability to host large scale celebrations. It’s going to be a fun and exciting time for all, as we know both our guests and Grand Cayman locals will have a great time enjoying the music, food, and amazing Seafire hospitality.”

Previously known for robust music programming at its individual restaurants and bars across the U.S. (specifically Geraldine’s in Austin and Stratus Rooftop Lounge in Philadelphia), last year’s Toots and the Maytals at Seafire Stage marked Kimpton’s first statement-making move in its own branded entertainment events.

“Seafire Stage is an exciting extension of Kimpton’s vastly expanding music programming and artist partnerships,” said Lauren Bucherie, Music Director for Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. “We’re looking forward to producing more events of this scale in the coming year at other Kimptons across the U.S. Keep an eye out for those announcements following Seafire Stage!”

Prior to the second annual Seafire Stage, the resort’s restaurant Ave will host an exclusive Winemaker’s Dinner with The Vineyard House. Beginning at 6:30 p.m. on January 13, guests will join proprietor Jeremy Nickel for an exclusive tasting of various vintages of an outstanding collection that pays tribute to Jeremy’s family, who founded famed Napa wineries Nickel and Nickel and Far Niente. To compliment, the talented Seafire culinary team will host a four-course pairing dinner spotlighting the tastes and flavors of Ave, Avecita and Coccoloba. While this will be a separate ticketed event from Seafire Stage, ticket prices will cost $225 per person and include a VIP experience at the concert. To purchase, visit here.

“We are honored to have Seafire’s own culinary stars, Executive Chef Massimo De Francesca and Avecita’s Chef Remy LeFebvre, create unique dishes to complement these exquisite wines,” said Himanshu Jethi, the resort’s Director of Food and Beverage. “Guests are in for a real voyage of the senses with both the Winemaker’s Dinner and Seafire Stage this year!”
