About this event

Hold on tight โ€” one of the Gulf Coast's most thrillingly unique events is back for its 13th year! Flora-Bama's Bulls on the Beach brings the excitement of professional bull riding to the legendary Flora-Bama venue on Perdido Key, just a scenic drive from Destin. Three nights of heart-pounding rodeo action unfold against the backdrop of the Gulf, creating an unforgettable combination of Southern grit and beachside fun.

Each night has its own theme: Thursday is Camo Cowboy night with a kids' coloring contest and bike giveaway, Friday honors America with a patriotic tribute night, and Saturday brings it home with a 90s Country celebration. Professional bull riders from across the country compete to stay on for 8 seconds in what rodeo fans call the most dangerous eight seconds in sports. The atmosphere is electric, the crowd is wild, and the memories last forever.

A portion of proceeds benefits St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, making your fun count for a great cause. Whether you're a rodeo veteran or a first-timer, Bulls on the Beach is the kind of experience that makes a beach vacation truly unforgettable. Kids 6 and under get in free, making this a fantastic family adventure on the Gulf Coast.
