Meeting of the Minds - Parrot Heads in Paradise Comes to Flora-Bama

Marketing • October 2, 2023

Jimmy Buffet Parrot Heads Celebrate Life at Flora-Bama

MOTM (Meeting of the Minds) is the PHiP (Parrot Heads in Paradise) convention held annually during the end of October and beginning of November. While previously hosted in New Orleans and Key West, the new home of MOTM has moved to the Gulf Coast and headquartered in Gulf Shores, Alabama for 2023 from October 24th - October 29th. It is open to any member of a PHiP sanctioned Parrot Head Club covering several days and nights of friendship, fun, food and great music, with a few optional meetings and seminars thrown in the mix.


With Jimmy Buffet's passing on September 1st of this year, the Parrot Head fan base is still mourning the loss of such a beloved cultural icon and will be for many years to come. Buffet created a lifestyle that spoke to his fans in a way that created a loyal following who shared the same free spirit, sense of adventure and a laid back lifestyle he sang about in every song. 


Flora-Bama is proud to be a part of Meeting of the Minds this year. Throughout the week we will have live music across our six stages that speak to this demographic and represent the Jimmy Buffet Parrot Head lifestyle. Join us for live music from Wes Loper and Friends, Jesse Rice, Aaron Sherz, Brandon Giles, Erica Sunshine Lee, John McClellan & John Allan Miller, Jeff Dayton and Drop Dead Dangerous. To view our full live music schedule click here: www.florabama.com/live-music.


Also, a special ticketed show will occur Sunday, October 29th on the Flora-Bama Tent Stage with Grammy winner Kristian Bush of the country duo Sugarland. This is your chance to catch Kristian in a rare, small stage appearance, and be a part of the stories and songs from his latest solo album "Drink Happy Thoughts" (among others) in a listening room environment. See what makes shows like this so unique from the big stage and get to know Kristian "the guy" on a more personal level.

Flora Bama Mullet Toss
By Marketing April 10, 2025
The greatest weekend of the year is nearing, the iconic, the one and only, the Gulf coast's greatest beach party...MULLET TOSS! Always the last full weekend of April, this event brings in thousands of people to celebrate together and that's right, toss fish. Patrons gather around a 200 foot long course to watch participants sign up to grab a mullet and throw it as far as you can. The contest is simple, but the weekend is anything but..... think a three day long party filled with sunshine, sand, cocktails (bushwackers of course), live music, bikini and hot body contests, debauchery and oh the lifelong memories you'll never forget, or maybe you will.
