Spring is in the air and people are starting to go back into the water.
With the increased numbers of beachgoers, the potential for drowning and other risks increases. It is around this time every year that the Navarre Beach Lifeguards begin to make their full presence known.
Melanie Heil, a Pace resident who is from Navarre, got up at 3 a.m. March 10, and her group was first in line at 4:30 a.m. for the Navarre Aldi grand opening.
The wait is almost over, and the highly anticipated Navarre Aldi is set to open this Thursday, March 10. The shelves are almost completely stocked and the low price tags are labeled. Here’s a look inside the new discount grocery store.
For years, Navarre Beach Fire Rescue has been trying to make Navarre Beach a special fire district.
On March 2, the Florida House of Representatives approved House Bill 651, which means Navarre Beach Fire is one step closer to that goal. The topic is set to be on the ballot for Navarre Beach Leaseholders in November.
The highly anticipated Navarre Aldi is set to open March 10, according to District 4 county commissioner Dave Piech. The store is located at 8816 Navarre Parkway, which is at the intersection of U.S. Highway 98 and Ortega Street.
Construction progress has been evident as multitudes of traffic pass the site of the new Aldi daily. The blue sign outlined in red, orange and yellow has been up for months. The siding is up, and the parking lot is paved and striped. And in a few more weeks, shoppers will fill the aisles.
Celebrating 36 years of family-friendly fun, floats and beads, the Navarre Beach Mardi Gras Parade is set to roll rain or shine Saturday, Feb. 19 at 1 p.m. along Gulf Boulevard.
The parade starts at Indiana Street and Gulf Boulevard, and continues east on the boulevard, ending at the Navarre Beach Causeway. The event typically attracts tens of thousands of people – locals and tourists alike.
