Holiday Installation Know Before You Go

Sub-Tropical Storm Nicole Update: BAAA is aware of tropical weather reports. We understand it will not be impacting our event, so Holiday Auction & Board Installation will take place as planned. We look forward to seeing you!

WHAT TO WEAR & BRING The event is cocktail/semi-formal. We will be both indoors and outdoors (weather permitting) but not in the sand. Remember to bring the parking permit below (OK to have on your phone) to show to the parking attendant. This event is completely sold out, with a waiting list. We will not be accepting any walk up registrations at the door. We are hosting a toy drive for the children affected by Hurricane Ian this holiday season. We are asking all attendees to bring one new, unwrapped toy with them in order for us to make a big impact! Learn more here.

HOW TO GET TO TRADEWINDS ISLAND RESORT Here's a convenient Google Map link to TradeWinds Island Resort, 5500 Gulf Blvd, St Pete Beach, FL 33706. Follow signs to the right to the parking attendants booth, where you will be asked to show your parking pass (below). You can either print it or show it on your phone. Follow signs into the surface lot. We are in the white Pavilion adjacent to the parking lot.
