Red Bull Flugtag is expected to bring more than 100,000 spectators and a $3.4 million estimated economic impact to Tampa.
Get ready to soar, Tampa! More than 100,000 spectators are expected for the Red Bull Flugtag on Saturday, November 9 outside the Tampa Convention Center.
This unique and crazy event is free to attend, with some of the best viewing areas available along the Tampa Riverwalk.
Named after the German word for 'flying day', Red Bull Flugtag challenges the brave and brainy to design and build human-powered flying machines, then launch them off an 8.5m flight deck over water. Teams of all shapes and sizes take to the skies in their handcrafted flying machines.
But that's not all!
ReBull are looking for wacky engineers and fearless pilots to fulfill their dream of flying. First you will need to construct a flying machine. Then take a leap of faith. Or, as is more often the case, plunge into the waters below. Are you up for it?
The Red Bull Flugtag consists of crews launching homemade aircraft off a 27-foot-tall flight deck constructed over the Tampa Convention Center Marina. The event is free to attend, with some of the best viewing areas available along the Tampa Riverwalk.
This will be the third Red Bull Flugtag to happen in Tampa, as it was previously held in the city in 2011 and 2008.
Teams of up to five people will compete by launching their unique airships off the 27-foot flight deck. Up to 40 teams will be judged on their craft’s design, the creativity of their pre-flight skit, and the distance of their flight. They will compete for exclusive Red Bull experiences, meet-and-greets with Red Bull athletes, and more.
An exciting lineup of judges, to be announced later, will select the winners.
Applications to compete in Tampa’s Red Bull Flugtag are open now through September 19! If you have an interest in defying gravity you can sign up at RedBull.com/redbullflugtagtampa.
