For just $20 ($30 at the gate), you can sample as many of the finest martini concoctions as you wish. Dessert drinks, tropical treats and of course the very basic dry martini will tickle your taste buds during the 4th Annual Perdido Key Martini Festival on Saturday, November 6.

Taste some creative concoctions at the Perdido Key Martini Festival at Villagio on Saturday, November 6, 2010.
Even non-martini fans will thoroughly enjoy the afternoon. The Extreme Bartending Flair Show promises plenty of fascination as these high-energy entertainers from Vancouver pour, juggle, flip and even light drinks in well-choreographed, constant motion.
At 2:00, the competition for Best Bartender on the Gulf Coast begins, each participant hoping for prizes, a trophy and bragging rights. Live music, local artist booths and food vendors, and even a few games round out the 4-hour event that will go by much too quickly.
According to The Jellyfish Bar, the event’s host, 100% of the advance sales will go to local non-profit organizations, so be sure to pick up your advance ticket through one of the following: Perdido Bay Youth Sports Association, Relay for Life, Covenant Hospice, Jef Bond Kidney Foundation, Escambia County Sheriff’s Department, Rotary Club, Kiwanis, Optimist, Shriners, Sons of Italy, and YMCA.
Don’t miss the fun between 1:00 and 5:00 on November 6 at Villagio Shopping Center in Perdido Key, Florida. More information is available by calling 850-332-6532 or visiting the Martini Festival website.
