Gulf Coast Biggest Beach Party & Annual Mullet Toss

The infamous Beach Party and Mullet Toss is planned for April!  Hmmm….you may be asking what is a mullet toss?  Well, it’s not the 80’s haircut, but it is one of the largest beach parties on the Gulf Coast that has participants throwing this fish called a mullet.  The mullet toss is hosted and organized by Flora-Bama Lounge, Package & Oyster Bar to see who can throw a fish the farthest over the state line between Florida and Alabama.  The farthest throw wins and fans and participants enjoy good fun, live legendary music, people watching, dancing, singing and especially enjoy the Flora-Bama famous concoction drink called the “Bushwacker”.

Mark your calendar for April 27-29, 2018.  All this annual fun is a national event with music, good food and contributes to our local youth charities including local school education and prevention programs, CDAC, community support and to the Boys and Girls Club of America.  More then $40,000 was donated last year for this weekend fun.  Come out and enjoy and support.  The fun starts on Friday with the first throw at noon.  So fling your fish.  The cost to toss is $15.00 including a souvenir t-shirt and then you toss the entire fish which weighs just about 1lb. across the border.  All ages and family fun is had by all.  Let the beach bash begin!

The Flora-Bama Mullet Toss in Perdido Key

FloraBama-300x224

We are just two weeks from the annual Mullet Toss at the Flora-Bama Lounge, taking place near our Gulf Coast real estate sales office in Perdido Key. If you live in Orange Beach or along the shores of Northwest Florida, you know this is a must-attend event!

If you have recently purchased a home on the Gulf Coast and are not familiar with this fun event, let us tell you a little about it. First, it has nothing to do with that once-popular (and maybe still popular) bad hairstyle men in the South sometimes sport. It does have everything to do with throwing a slimy fish from the beaches of Florida across the state line into Alabama.

Yes, this is a fish throwing event. Grab your friends and head out to the Flora-Bama where you will find people not only tossing mullet, but also enjoying the ‘Gulf Coast’s Greatest Beach Party’ which will feature live music, delicious food and great drinks. Dance and dine until it’s your turn to stand in the 10-foot circle and try your hand at throwing your dead fish the farthest!

So, while most of this event is just for fun and somewhat ridiculous, it also benefits great local charities throughout our community. In fact, a portion of the fish-tossing fees charged will be donated to local youth charities that support drug and alcohol education. The Flora-Bama Mullet Toss event kicks off on April 24 and goes each day throughout the weekend. We hope to see you out there and good luck flinging that fish!

The Interstate Mullet Toss!

FloraBama-300x224It’s here! The Interstate Mullet Toss and Gulf Coast’s Greatest Beach Party kicks off today and we can’t wait to fling some fish.

If you have recently purchased real estate in Perdido Key or are enjoying an Orange Beach vacation, be sure to visit the Flora-Bama to check out this event. Bring your throwing arm, though. We really mean it when we say “mullet toss”.

Each year hundreds of people gather along the sugar white shore of Perdido Key and Orange Beach to attempt tossing a favorite local fish across the state border. Really. All you have to do is stand in a circle and attempt to throw your fish from the beaches of Northwest Florida onto the beaches of Coastal Alabama.

Not only is this event fun but a portion of the proceeds even benefit a great cause, the Community Drug & Alcohol Council, as well as other youth programs in the area. Stick around after your throw to enjoy the beach party, four days of live music, great food and cool drinks. See you on the sand!
