The Gulfport 2016 Pink Flamingo Home Tour is scheduled for Saturday, March 5th • 11 am – 5 pm.
Be prepared to enjoy a delightful time in this funky, artsy city, where creativity abounds!
As always, tour-goers will experience a diverse group of homes reflecting the imagination, whimsy and charm that characterize Gulfport! Allow yourself some time to take a mid-point break and have a bite at one of Gulfport’s many culinary spots just minutes away. Or, perhaps, at tour end, peruse some of the stunning gift shops and art galleries in town. Or, just relax and have a drink with friends in Gulfport, known for its hospitality & friendliness!
For ardent tour-goers, please be aware that the Pass-A-Grille home tour, usually also at this time of year, will not be held this year due to road re-construction in Pass-A-Grille, so Gulfport’s Pink Flamingo tour is your best chance to get that creative “Fix” we all need!!! There is something for everyone, from the very sleek minimalist mid-century modern style to the home of a long time collector. Can you imagine a ferris wheel seat at the dining table, a phone booth in the living room, or a hand-carved stair-railing built to mimic the wetlands? Attend the tour and you will see it all, plus much more.
Tickets are $20/advance and $25/day of the event. They may be purchased online at: www.pinkflamingohometour.com.
Tickets may also be purchased at the Gulfport Welcome Center (corner of Beach Blvd. & 31st St. S.) using cash, check or credit card and also at Beach Bazaar (3115 Beach Blvd. S.) using cash or check.
Events in Gulfport often sell out, so don’t delay! Get your tickets now and save! Free shuttles will be provided for transportation between the homes on the tour. The level walkable route is approximately 1.5 miles. Whether you walk it, bike it, utilize the shuttles or not, you will have a great day with a little exercise and a memorable experience. Everyone, including ticket holders, must register at the Boca Ciega Yacht Club (4600 Tifton Drive S.) on the day of the event to receive your wrist band and tour book with a map of the area and the addresses of the homes. The wrist band is your entry into the homes.
