On Saturday, November 2, The Market Shops will host its 5th Annual Bloody Mary Festival benefiting Habitat for Humanity – Walton County. The annual event will feature unlimited tastes of the area’s most creative and innovative bloody marys and served by the finest restaurants and bars on the Emerald Coast.
A panel of select food critics and local celebrities will judge each bloody mary to select the winners for the most delicious and most creative. There will also be a highly coveted People’s Choice Award that is selected by each guest in attendance.
“This is an event we look forward to hosting every year. We’re bringing the area’s leading restaurants together to showcase their true culinary talent and unique take on the classic bloody mary.”
