I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year. 
 
Everybody who came to LuLu’s had a blast at Noon Year’s Eve. There were  beach-balls-a-plenty and enough snappy bubble wrap to go around for everyone. So. Much. Fun!  That party just gets better every year! 
 
We love to celebrate LOVE at LuLu’s! So we are already preparing for the annual Vow Renewals at all three locations. It’s a real spirit lift seeing couples from years past and new couples who are coming for the first time. This is literally the LOVEliest and sweetest event.  
 
And it feels crazy to say, but it’s already officially Carnival season. Which means we are planning and prepping for our annual birthday/ Fat Tuesday celebrations. The big party is at LuLu’s Gulf Shores, but we also have great Mardi Gras day celebrations in Destin and North Myrtle Beach. 
 
There is more information about what’s coming up on the restaurants’ social media feeds and at www.lulusfunfoodmusic.com
 
This year we are celebrating 26 years in business! Wow!! I still pinch myself every day to think that I have been doing this for this long. And I have all of you and so many more people and angels to thank for it.  Every day at LuLus’s we celebrate food, fun, and music. I hope you’ll make it to see us soon for a special event, or on any ‘regular’ day. Our aim at LuLu’s is to make every day a special event for you and your family. 
 
Thanks for the amazing ride so far. Looking forward to lots in 2025!
