Palm Coast will once again serve as the home of Florida’s largest Father’s Day weekend lacrosse tournament, as more than 150 youth teams from across the state are expected to compete at Indian Trails Sports Complex on June 20–21, 2026.
The 18th annual Father’s Day Lacrosse Tournament is organized by Florida United Lacrosse and has grown into one of the most recognized youth lacrosse events in the state. The tournament features boys and girls divisions ranging from 8U through high school levels, drawing thousands of athletes, parents, and visitors to the city each year.
“For 18 years, this tournament has brought athletes and families from across Florida to Palm Coast, and we’re proud to continue that tradition,” said James Hirst, Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Palm Coast. “Events like this showcase our outstanding sports facilities, generate significant economic impact for local businesses, and create memorable experiences for players, parents, and visitors alike.”
Beyond the competition, the tournament is expected to generate approximately $1.8 million in local economic impact through hotel stays, dining, shopping, and other visitor spending in the community.
The Father’s Day tournament is one of three major annual events Palm Coast hosts in partnership with Florida United Lacrosse, alongside the Pumpkin Shootout and the Veterans Day Invitational. Together, the three events have helped build Palm Coast’s reputation as one of Florida’s top destinations for youth sports tourism.
Admission is free for spectators. Residents are encouraged to attend and support the athletes throughout the weekend.
