FIGHTING OVER HURRICANE SUPPLIES IS NOW AN ACTUAL ATHLETIC EVENT, THANKS TO THE FLORIDA MAN GAMES™

October 24th, 2024

Announcing an all-new event for the 2025 games, Hurricane Party Prep: Grocery Aisle Brawl

Beer, seltzers, water, Pub subs, hot and spicy fried chicken, Southern-style potato salad – Floridians know a solid hurricane party shopping list when they see one. And those who have been through a named storm know that a grocery run during a Hurricane Warning is like Supermarket Sweep on a Schedule 1 Illegal Substance. Welcome to The Florida Man Games™’ newest event – Hurricane Party Prep: Grocery Aisle Brawl. And although Pete Melfi, event creator and organizer, is keeping a tight lip – for now – on what exactly this event will look like, if it’s anywhere in the vein of 2024’s events, attendees can count on plenty of laughs, gasps, and epic moments.

“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.”

The Florida Man Games is scheduled for Saturday, March 1st, at the St. Johns County Fairgrounds, 5840 FL-207 E in Elkton, Florida. Events like the Florida Sumo Cage Match and Evading Arrest Obstacle Course™ are back by popular demand. Events are pulled straight from the headlines, and because the Florida Man can’t stop Florida-ing, new and even crazier competitions are to be announced, like the new Hurricane Prep Party: Grocery Aisle Brawl. The Florida Man Games will again benefit the Jimmy Jam Community Outreach, a local 501(c)(3) that helps local residents in need. Additional VIP tickets were made available, but there are not many left. General admission tickets are $35 and VIP tickets are $120. For an even classier Florida Man experience, enjoy an exclusive experience and skip the hotel costs by getting an RV parking pass, which allows up to 4 people in the RV and includes an exclusive BBQ and unlimited amusement-style rides all day long. RV tailgating spaces are offered at $420 for a limited time. For more info, to purchase tickets, or to be a sponsor or vendor, visit here.

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. All team members will need to prove their Florida residency. Only 12 teams will be accepted to compete in the 2025 The Florida Man Games™. To submit a team video, visit here.

ABOUT THE FLORIDA MAN GAMES™: The Florida Man Games™ is the wildest competition sporting event on Earth, featuring crazy and unique athletic feats, entertaining contests, and Florida-style cultural activities. It will take place Saturday, March 1st, at the St. Johns County Fairgrounds, 5840 FL-207 E in Elkton, Florida.
