Gulfport's 16th Annual Pink Flamingo Tour Of Gardens Set For March 6

GULFPORT, FL — It's almost spring again, and the haven by the bay, invites everyone back to rediscover Gulfport during the 16th annual Pink Flamingo Tour of Gardens on Saturday, March 6 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In a twist on the annual home tour, this year the city is throwing a coronavirus-safe, all-outdoor event. Visitors will have the opportunity to see everything from an under-construction rain garden to a manicured backyard art gallery to meditation spaces, edible landscapes and chickens, chickens, chickens.

Feel free to go at your own pace, seeing properties in any order. Unfortunately, the organizers will not be able to provide transportation, so visitors are asked to bike, scoot or carpool. The tour skims Gulfport’s waterfront district, so there will be plenty of time to take a lunch break or shop in the historic downtown.

Tickets are $10 in advance at Gulfport Beach Bazaar or pinkflamingohometour.com, $15 at the door. Registration will take place at the Gulfport Rec Center, 5730 Shore Blvd., where attendees will receive a map and wristband.

To assure social distancing, ticket sales will be limited. Pet are not allowed.

The Pink Flamingo Tour of Gardens is a fundraiser for the Gulfport Merchants Chamber. Like all chamber-sponsored events, the tour adheres to Gulfport Strong, a heightened safety awareness campaign that assures CDC protocols are met including masking, social distancing and hand sanitizing.
