The Flora-Bama Bulls on the Beach event brings three nights of rodeo action to the Gulf Coast each fall, transforming the famous Flora-Bama into a high-energy arena for professional bull riding. Cowboys from across the country compete in front of packed crowds as spectators gather to watch one of the most unique events along the Alabama–Florida coast. The weekend kicks off with Kids’ Night, where families can enjoy a coloring contest and bike giveaway before the bull riding begins. Friday and Saturday feature the main professional competitions, with riders taking on powerful bulls in fast-paced rounds that keep the crowd on its feet. In addition to the thrill of the rodeo, a portion of event proceeds supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
