About the event
The “Fleet Week Miami Beach Top Gun Beach Olympics” event sponsored by Commissioner Alex Fernandez on Saturday, May 11 from 8am to 11:15am, is poised to culminate with a closing ceremony never seen before.
The event is an athletic competition at Lummus Park between 8th and 9th street at the Muscle Beach and Volleyball Courts. Teams from the Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Police Department, Fire Department, and Veteran Org will compete in Fitness Challenges, Pugil Stick Battles, Beach Volleyball, and ending with the main event of Team vs Team Tug of War.
Navy Rock Band will be our entertainment for the day! Get ready for a unique display and awards ceremony. At 10:30 US Navy Seals and one US Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer will ingress from the ocean from a hovering helicopter carrying the award medals which will be delivered to and presented by Miami Beach elected officials and the US Flag Officers to the winning team participants.
Join us after at 11:30am at the Miami Beach VFW Post for Shorty's BBQ luncheon and liberty!
It is truly going to be memorable for our Armed Forces and the community and will shine positively on Miami Beach.
