EVENT UPDATE: Porch Party Location Moved, Gulfport, FL

Gulfport Marina includes dry boat storage, ship store, bathroom, public boat ramp, parking, fueling stations, lighted range markers and guest docking facility.

The City of Gulfport and Gulfport Municipal Marina, A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR, always has a full calendar of events for all ages. The marina and harbor, found on the northern shores of Boca Ciega Bay, are easily accessible from the Western Florida ICW, just north of Tampa Bay.

This event has been moved to the Friends Room at the Gulfport Public Library.

Registration has reopened!

June Porch Party: 6/19

Movie Night: Sunshine State
Friday, June 19 at 7:00 PM at the Gulfport Public LibraryDoors open at 6:00 PM for the Annual Members Meeting at 6:15 PM.
Film begins at 7:00 PM. Running time is 2 hours 21 minutes.

Summer is here! Now it’s time to join Gulfport Arts & Heritage for a classic Florida film: Sunshine State.

In this John Sayles comedy, we meet two extraordinary Florida women. Marly is a former mermaid performer now staunchly defending her family’s old beachside motel from prowling developers; Desiree is a former beauty queen returning to make amends with her estranged mother. Each becomes embroiled in a struggle to save their community, which is marked by the scars of development, ecological destruction, and the enduring legacy of racial segregation. Sunshine State was lauded for outstanding performances from Edie Falco, Mary Steenburgen, and St. Pete’s own Angela Bassett, who netted Best Actress recognition from both the Black Reel Awards and the NAACP Image Awards for her portrayal of Desiree. Complete with its “Greek chorus” of bemused golfers, the film explores some very Floridian questions about identity, community, and justice in the land of sunshine in a memorable, only-in-Florida way.

Soda and popcorn will be served. No cost to attend, though donations are always appreciated.
