Get your mullets and beer bellies ready: The Florida Man Games are returning to St. Augustine for round two.
Year two will take place at the St. John’s County Fair Grounds on March 1, 2025.
A new location means more space, a covered arena, and an RV tailgating area.

Even though the games are a year away, you can start trying out to compete. Event organizers will start to accept applications on May 13 through September.
Aspiring competitors must submit a video showing what their team (three to five people) can do. All team members must be older than 18, and at least one person must be 21 or older. You do have to be a Florida resident to enter.
“Remember – have fun, don’t get arrested, and don’t die!” Event organizer and founder Pete Melfi said in a press release.
