The Perdido Key Chamber of Commerce will have a ribbon cutting ceremony at The Flora-Bama today beginning at 5 p.m.

The Flora-Bama has finally finished Phase 1 of its restoration project and will have a new roof and stage area, complete with balconies. This weekend will also mark the celebration of the 37th Anniversary of one of it’s longtime owners, Joe Gilchrist. Joe will also be celebrating his 69th birthday!

Markers will be given out to the first 100 people to show up, starting at 4 p.m. to sign their names on the new addition.

There will be complimentary hors d’oeuvres, crawfish boil, drink specials and door prizes! The Flora-Bama is located on the Gulf of Mexico at the Florida-Alabama line.
