If you’re looking for the ultimate Gulf Coast experience, there’s only one place to be this weekend—the legendary Flora-Bama. The Interstate Mullet Toss & Greatest Beach Party is back April 24–26, bringing thousands of visitors together for a one-of-a-kind celebration of beach, music, and community.


What started as a quirky beachside competition has grown into one of the most iconic events on the coast, drawing people from all over the country (and beyond) to take part in the fun.


What Is the Interstate Mullet Toss?

It’s exactly what it sounds like—in the best way possible. Participants step into a 10-foot circle on the Florida side of the state line and toss a mullet fish as far as they can into Alabama. The farthest throw wins, but the real goal is simple: have fun and make memories.


A Weekend Full of Events

The Mullet Toss isn’t just a contest—it’s a full weekend beach party packed with entertainment. You’ll find:

  • Mullet Toss Competitions (Friday–Sunday)
  • Kids Toss: 10 AM – Noon
  • Adult Toss: Noon – 4 PM
  • Celebrity & Owner Toss: 4 PM daily
  • Awards: 2 PM (kids & seniors), 4:30 PM (adults)
  • Live music all weekend long
  • Beachside fun, contests, and entertainment
  • Food, drinks, and that signature Flora-Bama energy

Toss for a Cause

At its heart, the Interstate Mullet Toss is about giving back. Every toss makes a difference.

  • $20 per toss gets you an official Mullet Toss t-shirt
  • All proceeds are donated to local charities in the community

Those funds support important organizations including:

  • The Community Drug & Alcohol Council (CDAC)
  • Boys & Girls Clubs of Escambia County and Baldwin County


These programs focus on youth development, prevention, and community support—making every throw more meaningful than just distance.


Why You Should Be There

The Flora-Bama Interstate Mullet Toss is more than just an event—it’s a Gulf Coast tradition. It’s where beach culture, live music, and a little bit of friendly competition collide for an unforgettable weekend. Whether you’re tossing your first mullet or just soaking in the atmosphere, one thing’s for sure: there’s nothing else like it. So grab your friends, head to the beach, and get ready to toss—for fun, for bragging rights, and for a great cause.


See you on the line.
