A music festival staged directly on the sand of the Gulf.
More than 200 songwriters play stripped down sets in bars and venues along the Alabama and Florida Gulf Coast, anchored by the Flora-Bama on the state line.
Every spring, the Flora-Bama Lounge straddling the Florida-Alabama line hosts a three-day beach party built around throwing dead mullet fish across the state line for distance.
A 42-year-old songwriter-in-the-round festival anchored at the Flora-Bama roadhouse on the Florida/Alabama line, with over 200 songwriters performing acoustic sets across dozens of small venues over an 11-day run.
