It’s one of our most original and wacky festivals in Key West, the always entertaining ten day celebration of Conch Republic Days! This year marks 32 years since our secession from the United States. Our yearly birthday party, celebrates the “rebellion,” which was to protest a U.S. Border Patrol blockade on U.S. Highway 1 at the top of the Keys. This festival is one of a kind, from bed races, to racing Drag Queens, to a parade on Duval street. With unique parties and events every day, everyone is sure to have a “conch” of a good time!
