Event Overview
The Interstate Mullet Toss is a Flora-Bama tradition built around a simple premise: participants throw a mullet from a 10-foot circle across the Florida-Alabama state line to see who can throw it the farthest. The event has grown into a three-day beach party with music, awards, and charity fundraising.
