Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe, have you covered this holiday season with a unique, fun, and safe event to help you kick off 2015. Celebrate Twice features 13 different bars and restaurants and a free trolley system that makes regular stops at each one. Countdown to 2015 in the Eastern time zone at various hot spots in Port St. Joe, then take a short ride on the FREE shuttles over to Mexico Beach in the Central time zone and do it all again—without worrying about who will be the designated driver!
The trollies run from 8:00 p.m. until 3:00 a.m. EST (7:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. CST) and will make stops for all the best live music, food, drinks and even fireworks on the beach in Port St. Joe at 10:00 p.m. EST and in Mexico Beach at midnight, CST.

Scavenger Hunt!
December 31 will also feature a scavenger hunt throughout Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe. It’s a great way for the whole family to enjoy the beautiful beaches, shops and nature in this charming fishing town before heading out to celebrate later that night. Visitors can obtain a scavenger hunt map at either the Mexico Beach or the Gulf County Welcome Center or online at www.CelebrateTwice.com.
The map will list six businesses (three in each town) that will be distributing free New Year’s Eve promotional items. Visitors do not have to purchase items from the shops in order to collect the unique hunt items. Each time a visitor collects an item, the merchant will punch their logo on the visitor’s card. Once all logos have been punched, the visitor can turn the card in to either Welcome Center for a chance to win a two-night stay for Celebrate Twice next year.
