Country music superstar and Vero Beach native Jake Owen is bringing his highly anticipated annual charity event back to the Treasure Coast this November. Known as The Flamingo, this multi-day philanthropic extravaganza not only brings incredible entertainment to Indian River County but also raises vital funds for local causes. Scheduled to take place from Thursday, November 12, through Sunday, November 15, 2026, the event promises action-packed festivities for residents and visitors alike.
The weekend itinerary is packed with classic Florida outdoor activities and live music, perfectly tailored to the vibrant Vero Beach lifestyle. While the highly coveted Flamingo Golf Classic at Quail Valley Golf Club on Friday, November 13, is already sold out, there are still plenty of ways for the community to get involved and show their support.
Here is the schedule of events for The Flamingo:
- Thursday, November 12: The Flamingo Clay Shoot kicks off the weekend of sporting events.
- Saturday, November 14 (Morning): The Flamingo Family Fun Run 3K. Registration and packet pickup begin at 8:00 a.m., with the race officially starting at 9:00 a.m. at 2612 Airport North Drive in Vero Beach.
- Saturday, November 14 (Evening): The signature Flamingo JAM concert begins at 7:00 p.m., featuring live performances by Jake Owen alongside special musical guests Wyatt McCubbin and Colton Dawson.
- Sunday, November 15: The weekend wraps up on the water with the Flamingo Fishing Classic.
Beyond the music and outdoor recreation, the true heart of The Flamingo is its dedication to giving back. The Jake Owen Foundation, a private nonprofit established by the country star, focuses heavily on supporting youth organizations and various charities throughout Vero Beach and the wider Indian River County area.
The Jake Owen Foundation has raised over $7.5 million for charitable causes and nonprofit organizations, stepping up recently to direct critical funds toward local Hurricane Milton recovery and rebuilding efforts.
For locals looking to participate in this incredible weekend of community and country music, tickets and registration details can be found directly on the Jake Owen Foundation’s official events page. Whether you are lacing up your running shoes for the Saturday morning 3K or grabbing tickets to see Jake Owen perform live in his hometown, supporting The Flamingo is a fantastic way to celebrate and uplift the Vero Beach community this November.
