Mardi Gras in Perdido Key!

The Gulf Coast is well known for Mardi Gras celebrations. We love to let the good times roll down the coast, and that includes in Perdido Key!

We may not have Bourbon street but we do have loads of fun events and festivals taking place during the celebrations and that includes the annual Perdido Key Mardi Gras Festival!

The Mardi Gras Festival kicks off with the annual boat parade which begins at Galvez Landing. Participants will make their way down the Intracoastal and around before returning to the landing. After the parade enjoy spending time at Hub Stacey’s on the Point. The kids will enjoy the special activities that have been cooked up just for them. Speaking of cooking, be sure to line up to taste the Cajun creations entered in the annual cook-off. And, you can watch as the boat parade awards are given out. Be sure to stick around for the evening fireworks displays, as well.

Wear your purple, green and gold on Saturday, March 1 and get ready to let the good times roll as you take in the array of activities beginning at noon. Be sure to stick around for the evening fireworks displays, as well.

Florida Freeze of 2014

The Florida Freeze of 2014 has officially settled along the gulf coast as residents and vacationers are bundled up inside their homes and condos.  The interstate, local bridges and many roads have been closed due to icy roads and impassable conditions.  Local authorities have urged everyone to stay inside as they had suspended efforts to maintain the roads covered with sheets of ice.

As many businesses closed early due to the forecast, others stayed open.  Pointe South Real Estate Broker/ Owner, Susan Carleton, welcomed a guest to stay at her home, as her guest was unable to leave Perdido Key after work.  Others were excited about this rare event in Florida and Coastal Alabama as photos of snowmen and kids sledding spread across social media and the news.  One resident claimed “I’ve lived here for 32 years and have never seen this.”

The temperatures are expected to increase and be in the 50s and 60 by the weekend.  We hope all of our community member, owners, tenants, and guests are safe and stay warm!
