HEY Y'ALL

This past weekend, Riley Green took to the beach behind Flora-Bama and brought along some of country music's finest to put on a two day beach concert festival filled with good times and good music. Friday, April 12th had Jake Worthington, Tracy Lawrence and Riley Green. Saturday, April 13th had Ella Langley, Drake White and Riley Green finish out the night.

Easter weekend is filled with all kinds of festivities at Flora-Bama. Worship on the Water kicks it off with our Good Friday church service on the Flora-Bama white sandy beach at 6pm on Friday, March 29th. Then, Sunday, March 31st on Easter Sunday, join us for one of our three church services at sunrise at 6:30am or the regularly scheduled 9am and 11am. This is the ultimate no judgement zone and everyone is welcome.

Saturday, March 16th, 2024 marked the 11th Annual Beach Run/Walk for America's Warriors. This race was created by Flora-Bama Co-Owner and former Army Ranger, Cameron Price, whose dream is to eventually get to a full marathon on the sand. Currently, the race is 100% on the sand with three options to participate. Registrants can sign up for the half marathon, 5K run or 5K walk. All three begin and end on the sand behind Flora-Bama with the half marathon running towards Florida and the 5k run/walk going into Alabama. Hundreds of people came out to join in on the race festivities and help support Special Operations Warrior Foundation. For this race, 100% of race registration fees are donated back to SOWF.

You don't become the Gulf Coast’s most hallowed beach bar without a bit of divine intervention. “When you look at where God put the Flora-Bama, it’s in the middle of where all kinds of demographics gather—that’s what makes it special,” says co-owner and lifelong Alabama native John McInnis III. “You’d have fishermen and locals mixed with tourists, bikers, and military personnel from the [Pensacola Navy] base. All of a sudden, they were hanging out together in this little shack by a liquor store. That’s what it looked like in the late seventies and early eighties.”

Riley Green is coming back to Flora-Bama this Spring Break and bringing a few friends with him. Riley's own two day beach concert, Duckman Jam, will be April 12th and April 13th. This two day beach concert on the beach behind Flora-Bama will have two different line ups each day with Riley closing it out each night. Schedule is as follows: Friday, April 12th Riley Green, Tracy Lawrence, Jake Worthington Saturday, April 13th Riley Green, Drake White, Ella Langley

In recent months the Alabama Legislature has been considering the legalization of gambling within the State. Many local residents have been gambling for many years just by taking a short drive to the Flora-Bama or into Perdido Key. The current Mega-Millions drawing is valued over $550 Million dollars and you can view all the Alabama license plates on cars visiting the Flora-Bama Liquor Store or Gift Shop.

Super Bowl is traditionally a large hang out at home day with people throwing parties full of creative snacks and grilling out. 30 years ago Flora-Bama started an event on the Saturday before Super Bowl to drum up some business and coined it the "Super" Chili Bowl Cook-Off. After 30 years, the event is still going strong and continues to be a crowd favorite. The tent stage area is maxed out at 21 teams each year and customers put their best "taste tester" hats on and come through trying all the different varieties. Tickets are $25 to have unlimited sampling and 100% of that money is donated to American Cancer Society. Teams compete for a blind taste test from our judges to win 1st - 3rd place, then all the customers vote on People's Choice and then to add to the fun a Best Decorated Booth is awarded to one of the teams. This year Flora-Bama was able to make a check out to American Cancer Society for $12,000!! Thank you to everyone who attended.

After a long night at the Annual New Year's Eve Bash, thousands of people come to Flora-Bama on the morning of New Year's Day to wash away 2023 and dip into 2024! We were blessed with perfect weather conditions this year to make for a more enjoyable splash in the water and thousands showed up ready to celebrate a new year together. This year marks the Flora-Bama's 40th Polar Bear Dip and many customers expressed the number of years they have been attending....5, 10, 15 and some even more! The tradition brings you a dip into the water, then a free plate of the traditional New Year food items like black eyed peas, collard greens, ham and cornbread and of course a draft beer after your plunge. Every year on New Year's Day, thousands join together at Flora-Bama where everyone gathers on the sand behind Flora-Bama and right at the strike of noon, we all plunge into the Gulf together. Best of all? This event is FREE and open to all ages! Post plunge, the party continues throughout the day and evening with live mus
