Franco’s Flop Fest (Website) is returning to Baldwin Park this fall, and they’re promising it’ll be bigger and better than ever.
The belly flop competition/street party is slated for Sunday, September 14, and will take over New Broad Street in front of Tactical Brewing (Website) in Baldwin Park, with road closures in place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The annual event is hosted by Cholo Dogs (Website), and this year will be sponsored by Florida Citrus Sports. So they’ll be getting a bigger pool.
The event will take place from noon to 5 p.m. and feature local food trucks, a makers’ market, live music, and, of course, Tactical Brewing’s signature ales on tap both inside and outside at pop-up bars. Flop hopefuls must register HERE for $35 and submit a signed waiver by 1 p.m. on event day. Costumes encouraged (though remember that white gets see-through when wet).
Past Flop Fests have drawn hundreds of people to Baldwin Park with winners crowned “Earth’s Premier Belly-Flopper” after being judged on creativity, splash, sound, impact, and showmanship by a panel of beautiful and accomplished judges (like myself).
