2025 The Florida Man Games™
Save the date! The Florida Man Games™ is returning on Saturday, March 1, 2025 with the first challenge starting at approximately 10:20am. 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! And … it looks like the games might be televised!
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.”
