As we wrap up this year’s Flamingo Float, we’re filled with gratitude and pride for what this community accomplished together, even in the face of a last-minute curveball. Due to weather concerns, we had to pivot from the planned float to a flamingo drop, and thanks to the flexibility and good spirits of everyone involved, the event was still a huge success. Watching the flock hit the target was a memorable moment and a true testament to the teamwork, adaptability, and positivity that define this event.

One of the most meaningful moments of the day was seeing Dominick’s dream come true, as Santa granted his wish for a Disney cruise. That moment captured the true spirit of this event and reminded us why we do what we do. A heartfelt thank-you goes out to our incredible sponsors, volunteers, and participants who rolled with the change, showed up, and made the day special. Your support, enthusiasm, and generosity are what make Flamingo Float possible year after year, no matter the conditions.

And this is just the beginning! We’re already dreaming up ways to make next year’s Flamingo Float bigger, brighter, and even more unforgettable.

Where: John's Pass in Madeira Beach

The Flamingo Float is one of Tampa Bay’s most colorful and exciting annual events, taking place at John's Pass in Madeira Beach. This fun-filled, family-friendly fundraiser is FREE to attend, making it a perfect day out for locals and visitors alike. To join the race, it’s just $5 to adopt a flamingo, with all proceeds benefiting the Children’s Dream Fund. Depending on where you park, there may be a small parking fee near John’s Pass Village & Boardwalk.

The Flamingo Float at Madeira Beach is more than just a race—it’s a community celebration with a mission. Every flamingo adoption helps support the Children’s Dream Fund in granting life-changing dreams for children battling life-threatening illnesses across the St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay area. To date, the nonprofit has granted over 4,200 dreams, ranging from meeting sports heroes to unforgettable family adventures.

By participating in the Flamingo Float, you’re not only enjoying a day of fun, but also helping to bring hope, joy, and lasting memories to children and families in need. Gather your friends, adopt your flamingos, and cheer them on as they “float” to the finish line at Madeira Beach’s iconic John’s Pass.
