3rd Annual Perdido Key Martini Festival

11/07/2009

1:00pm-5:00pm. There’s probably no other beverage that commands the reputation for prestige, elegance, class, or panache, as the Martini. This tasty and classic concoction has an air of mystery and attraction, and will be showcased in an upscale event like no other. Grey Goose, Three Olives and Premier Beverage have once again put together a “do not miss” one day only event located in the Villagio on Perdido Key. With an estimated 24 booths to visit with an all-inclusive sample of premium spirits and martinis the crowds will have plenty to do. Along with the opportunity to purchase bottles at some serious savings there will be local art and craft vendors, food, and door prizes. The most anticipated part of the day will be “The 2009 Gulf Coast Bartender Showdown” at 2:30 p.m. From across the Coast, Bars and Restaurants will enter bartenders to compete for cash, trophies, prizes and the all important bragging rights in a chance to see who can prepare the BEST Martini on the Gulf Coast. Ticket proceeds benefit several local charities.

Cascading Chrysanthemum Bloom Out!

Hundreds of colorful four-foot long cascades will be displayed on bridges and balconies, in baskets and containers throughout the Gardens.

The Great Lawn’s dramatic border will be a feast for the eyes. Bellingrath’s mum display is one of the grandest in the country and all the cascades are grown at Bellingrath.

Orange Beach Area Information

With white sandy beaches and inviting, warm Gulf water, Orange Beach has been a family favorite for generations. Enjoy specialty shops, boutiques, day spas and fine cuisine served in a relaxed setting. The back bays and inlets provide a great place to fish for speckled trout. And because it’s near the Pass connecting the Gulf and bays, Orange Beach is the perfect location to launch a sport or deep sea fishing boat. This is the Florida experience we remember from years ago but with a modern, upscale twist. Like its sister towns, Perdido Key boasts sugar white sands and crystal water. Although boutiques and quaint eateries dot the landscape in Perdido Key, the area feels somewhat removed, enjoying a slower pace. Boating and fishing are naturals in this relaxed community.

The sun rises slowly each morning in a brilliant display. Gold skies give way to pink, pumpkin and finally the blue of day. If you’re lucky enough to be here at this hour, you’ll hear the familiar call of seagulls hanging in the air. You may glimpse a brown pelican breaking the water’s surface in a brief, but impressive splash. The sand beneath you, smoothed from its night’s rest, carries you to the water’s edge. At mid-morning, children can be seen scurrying along the beach like ghost crabs. Armed with bright buckets, they re-shape the sand to form castles with moats and turrets. Their imagination is without limit. And for a moment, so is yours. Such is the enchantment of this place called Orange Beach.
