Franco’s Flop Fest aims to crown the best belly-flopper in Orlando this week

Flop sweat won’t be a factor for contestants on Saturday during Cholo Dogs’ Franco’s Flop Fest.

“Earth’s Premier Belly Flop Contest” returns to Baldwin Park’s Tactical Brewing for a third wild year, and brave floppers will be graded on creativity, sound, splash, impact and showmanship.

Contestants may execute their flops in a costume or take the classic bare-stomach approach for maximum audience “ooooh”s.

The prizes include a Franco’s Flop Fest trophy, a Franco’s Flop Fest T-shirt, two free Cholo Dogs and one free Tactical beer. Contestants will be able to fortify themselves with a couple of free Cholo Dogs hot dogs and a free Tactical beverage.

Come try your hand at flopping alongside Central Florida’s best — signing a waiver is sensibly required — or just enjoy the show.

Noon Saturday, June 8, Tactical Brewing Co.
