The 35th annual Interstate Mullet Toss is Alabama’s latest major spring event to fall to the coronavirus, with the Flora-Bama announcing late Wednesday that it has been postponed.

The event, formally billed as the Interstate Mullet Toss and Gulf Coast’s Greatest Beach Party, would have taken place the weekend of April 24-26. The Flora-Bama did not immediately announce a new date, but told fans to “stay tuned.” The word follow’s Tuesday’s announcement that the 2020 Hangout Music Fest, an unrelated event scheduled for May in nearby Gulf Shores, also was being postponed.

The central event of the Mullet Toss is a competition in which participants pay to fling fish along the beach, from the Alabama side of the state line into Florida. It serves as a fund-raiser for local charities.

On Thursday, the venue posted a video showing some of its staff talking about how much they missed business as usual. As is the case with many businesses shut down by the epidemic, it also suggested the purchase of gift cards as one way for patrons to help out.

The Flora-Bama has been proactive in responding to the COVID-19 outbreak. It announced a partial shutdown on March 17, just as spring break was picking up steam, closing its main bar and some operations at related businesses. It also canceled Easter events and the Mullet Man Triathlon. Along with the Mullet Toss postponement, its Mullet Swing golf tournament has been canceled for 2020.

The venue continues to stream regular “Live from the Line” singer-songwriter performances on its Facebook page.
