Crawfish Boil at Flora-Bama

Friday, June 24th, 2011

It’s hard to believe it’s already the end of crawfish season! But as they say, “All good things must come to an end.” (Thank goodness it’s only a temporary end, and they’ll be back as wonderful as ever next season.)

Celebrate the end of crawfish season at Flora-Bama's Crawfish Boil on Saturday, June 25, 2011!

Rather than let it get them down, the folks at Flora-Bama have decided to celebrate. Their Crawfish Boil is guaranteed to bring joy through terrific food, plenty of beach drinks, the best music, and loads of fun.

Starting at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, June 25, 2011, delight your taste buds with Cajun crawfish (served with lots of napkins, of course!). Cool your throat with ice cold beer or bushwhackers. Treat your ears to live music from a variety of fabulous artists. And party with fun-loving folks from across the globe.

By the way, you can also win a Southern Comfort bike! Buy a crawfish plate ($5 per plate or $10 for an all-you-can-eat ticket) and you get a free ticket for the drawing.

There is no cover charge or age restriction for the daytime crowd. Starting around 6 p.m., you must be 18 or older to enter, and pay a cover charge of $5. The 10:00 p.m. hour brings the entry age to 21, but those under 21 who are already inside are allowed to stay.

Make the Flora-Bama Crawfish Boil a must-do this weekend. If you’ve never eaten crawfish, it’s perfectly OK—there will be plenty of experts nearby who will happily show you how. You’ll be hooked in no time!

Labor Day, Cajun Style at the Beach

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

For many people, a Cajun celebration may not be the first thing that comes to mind for Labor Day. But why not?

Party Cajun-style at The Hangout this Labor Day Weekend!

Unless you are from Louisiana, you may not even know what “Cajun” means, much less what kind of celebrating it might describe. If so, it’s time to change that! This Labor Day Weekend is your chance to party like a Cajun, whether as second nature or for the very first time.

The folks at The Hangout in Gulf Shores, Alabama—yes, where Highway 59 ends, right on the beach—are making it easy to live it up. The three-day festivities begin at 3:00 p.m. this Friday, August 27, and each night it doesn’t wind down until 2:00 a.m.

During this time, you’ll enjoy Cochon de liat, a traditional pig roast. You’ll also be treated to zydeco music all weekend, including dance music from the Mermaid Stage. A free family show by Jamie Bergeron and the Kickin’ Cajuns will begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday evening. Saturday’s special guests are Don Fontenot and Lez Ami de La Louisianne beginning at 7:00 p.m. And Sunday at 8:00 p.m. is another lively show with Wayne Toups.

It’s not too late to plan your road trip to the party. In fact, Meyer Real Estate has teamed up with The Hangout for the weekend and beyond, offering 50% off accommodations plus a $50 Hangout gift card. See the details and reserve your beach headquarters online. This is a celebration you don’t want to miss!
