March 7th | The Conch Shell Blowing Contest

Celebrating its 58th year, The CONCH SHELL BLOWING CONTEST is an island tradition that celebrates the historic importance of conch in the Keys. This event features contestants in several age categories attempting (we say attempting because it's not as easy as you think) to make "music" with fluted conch shells. Contest located in the garden of the Oldest House, 322 Duval Street, free and open to all ages. Registration begins at 10 a.m., contest starts at noon.
