Don't Stop the Carnival is the twenty-second studio album by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was released on Margaritaville Records and Island Records on April 28, 1998. It is based on the 1965 novel of the same name written by Herman Wouk. Wouk also worked with Buffett to produce the stage play that lasted only for a short run in Miami, Florida in 1997. The album contains 20 compositions to promote the stage play. It reached #15 in the Billboard 200 albums chart. This was Buffett's first album for Island Records since parting ways with MCA Records in 1996.
