Celebrate Memorial Day On the Line

Marketing • May 21, 2025

Flora-Bama is the place to be this Memorial Day weekend.

Gulf Coast Silkies Ruck, florabama, Memorial Day

Come celebrate Memorial Day weekend on the line this Saturday, May 24th to honor those men and women

who have graciously served our country. There’s no better place to gather in gratitude than right

here—on the line between Florida and Alabama—where the beach meets the beat of live music,

community, and celebration. The weekend kicks off with the Gulf Coast Silkies Ruck March which begins at The Wharf in Orange Beach and ends on the gorgeous beach behind the Flora-Bama. This organization plans networking hikes for veterans, active, and guard personnel, with the intent to strengthen the veteran community through networking to eliminate suicide in their ranks. Arrival time is around 12:30pm, depending on numerous conditions, but come join us on the beach to cheer on and welcome these brave men and women as they finalize their ruck.


Following the arrival of our ruck participants, join us for the Miss Memorial Day Bikini contest at 3pm on the tent stage. Find more information about registration HERE:


Wondering what to eat this weekend with beautiful waterfront views and bushwhackers? The

Flora-Bama Oyster Bar has many delicious options, from oysters to shrimp. Our golden fried

shrimp comes with flavorful cocktail sauce, and our oyster’s range in sizes of half dozen to a full

dozen. One special order of oysters is named after a legendary owner, Pat McClellan. McClellan serves

his oysters baked and topped with butter, smoked gouda cheese, bacon, and green onions. Don’t

like those? We have an entire oyster sampler with a flavor for everyone or try some of

our scrumptious smoked tuna dip. Chefs make this dip fresh and in-house with brined Gulf Coast

tuna, slow smoked and served with a fiery blend of Alabama style flavors with a side of saltine

crackers.


Don't forget our live music everyday! With 4 stages at the main Flora-Bama and 2 stages between Flora-Bama Ole River Grill and Flora-Bama Yacht Club, we will keep you dancing all day/night. Check out our live music schedule for this weekend and all year long HERE:


Join us at the Flora-Bama this Memorial Day weekend for unforgettable food, drinks, live music and

celebration!
