The fish will fly...

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.

Leading up to the event, Flora-Bama has a jam-packed schedule of events for April, offering something for everyone in the community and visitors alike. Join us for a month of fun, fitness, and festivities on the beautiful Gulf Coast!

Kicking off the month is the Mullet Man Triathlon on Saturday, April 12th. Participants will start at 7am with a 1/4 mile swim in Ole River behind the Flora-Bama Yacht Club & Ole River Grill. The 16.5-mile bike segment follows, transitioning from the Flora-Bama Liquor Store parking lot, heading west to Alabama, under the Perdido Pass Bridge, then east into Florida on Perdido Key Dr. Cyclists will follow the road, turn left onto River Road, go under the Theo Baars Bridge, return onto Perdido Key Drive, and finish back at the Liquor Store. Bike helmets are required, and participants must walk their bikes through the transition area. The event concludes with a 3.9-mile run starting at the Liquor Store, heading west into Alabama, turning around under the Perdido Pass Bridge, and finishing in front of the Flora-Bama on the south side of Perdido Key Drive. An awards ceremony with food, drinks, and live music by Al & Cathy immediately follows the completion of the race.

The following weekend, on Saturday, April 19th, families are invited to our free annual Bunny Drop & Easter Egg Hunt, promising a fun-filled afternoon for children of all ages. Join us for a morning of arts and crafts with live music by Wes Loper starting at 11am, followed by an exciting Easter Egg Hunt where kids can search for over 10,000 colorful eggs hidden in the sand behind Flora-Bama at 12pm. Remember to bring your own Easter basket to load up all your eggs. The highlight of the day will be the arrival of the Easter Bunny, who will be parachuting onto the beach promptly at 12:30pm! Immediately following the Easter Bunny’s safe landing, kids will have the opportunity to meet and take photos with the bunny.

The following day, April 20th, join us for our uplifting Worship on the Water church services, a beautiful way to celebrate Easter Sunday with the community. Three services are offered on Easter Sunday starting with the sunrise service at 6am and then the usual 9am and 11am. Thousands attend these services hosted on the sand behind Flora-Bama with a gorgeous serene Gulf view.
