2025 The Florida Man Games™
Save the date! The Florida Man Games™ is returning on Saturday, March 1, 2025 starting at 10:00am (tentative). Featuring crazy and unique athletic feats, entertaining contests, and Florida-style cultural activities!
This irreverent competition is even weirder than last years’ inaugural event. There will be new competitions, more insane teams, and a brand-new venue … the St. Johns County Fairgrounds!
Event Information
Events like the Florida Sumo Cage Match and Evading Arrest Obstacle Course™ are back by popular demand. And, because the Florida Man can’t stop Florida-ing, a slew of new and crazy competitions are to be announced. One of the newest events is Hurricane Party Prep: Grocery Aisle Brawl.
“Yeah, this new event definitely comes straight from the headlines and personal experience,” laughs Pete Melfi, event organizer. “You can’t call yourself a Florida man or woman if you haven’t wrestled with someone on aisle 8 for the last case of water while Jim Cantori’s voice screams in your head that you need to start stockpiling supplies. This event is going to produce some great moments, and I think our champions will really rise to the occasion.”
Team Information
Thinking of creating a team to take on the Games? Aspiring Florida men and women must submit a video showing all team members. Get creative, have fun, and be memorable. Be warned – only those with peak Florida Manliness and Womanliness will be considered!
Teams must consist of three to five members, all 21 years of age or older, with at least one being 21 years of age or older. All team members will need to prove their Florida residency. Only 12 teams will be accepted. Click the event website link and go to the Team Signup Page.
Also new for this year … like a perverse swamp version of The Price is Right, at least one team will be plucked from the audience to become the ultimate The Florida Man Games’ Wild Card Team. Per Melfi, “There were so many people who attended and wanted to take part in the competitions that we’re going to give them the chance to do it this year.”
