Flagler Beach and the Flagler Beach Historical Museum co-hosted a Birthday and Block Party on Wednesday, April 16, kicking off the city's centennial celebration.
The city was incorporated on April 16, 1925. The birthday party was the first of a series of centennial events that will continue through December.
The birthday party included music from DJ Vern, bites from Crave's Coastal Kitchen, a birthday cake, games for the kids, and speeches from Flagler Beach officials
Mayor Patti King praised the city's "spirit of resilience that has weathered many storms." Over the years, the city has "stayed true to its roots," and that everyone has a part to play in its future.
"Let's make sure it remains an eclectic, friendly, fun, funky beach town for generations to come," she said.
City Commissioner James Sherman added: "One hundred years ago, a small group of dreams imagined a community by the sea — one built on sunshine, sand and the spirit of togetherness. They couldn't have known that their vision would grow into the vibrant, welcoming, and beautiful city we are proud to call home."
Before the cake and speeches, members of the Rotary Club of Flagler Beach formed a "100" on the beach, north of the pier.
Rotary President Bob Snyder estimated that over 300 people participated in the "100." He said it was meant to be fun, in the style of a high school class spelling out their year for a yearbook photo.
"The ocean in the background, and the pier — wow!" he said. "This turned out beautifully."
The next centennial event will be the Flagler Woman's Club Ice Cream Social on May 24.
