Even when it is supposed to be the slow season in Key West, we are never at a loss for festivals and events. Below are my top five for the upcoming week.
5 - Key West Musicians Festival – 19 notable Key West musicians come together for an afternoon of musical entertainment at the Smokin’ Tuna Saloon Saturday, noon-4 PM. Best of all, 20% of the proceeds go to local non-profit Sister Season Fund, Inc.
4 - Bear Fest Key West 2011 – Thursday through Sunday, Key West welcomes all of the bears to the island. Pool and dance parties are planned all weekend for those who like to let the fur fly.
3 - Fantasy Fest King & Queen Candidate Events – The race is still on for the next Fantasy Fest King and Queen. This week’s events include a spelling bee, a progressive dinner, tastings, and a comedy show. Not to be missed is the classical music concert at St. Peter’s Church Friday at 8 PM.
2 - Wig Auction - I am so excited about this candidate event, I had to give it its own place in the line-up. Local salon Headlines sponsors this fun auction of fabulously- and professionally-designed wigs of all shapes, themes and colors. The auction takes place Wednesday at Aqua Nightclub starting at 6 PM.
1 - Black and Skabuddah at the Patio – Originally from NYC, Black and Skabuddah make their first appearance at Pearl’s Patio this Saturday, 7-10 PM. Black and Skabuddah’s sound has been described as acoustic-driven classic rock with an edge. Their repertoire consists of 60’s & 70’s classic rock and some of their original music. We look forward to welcoming them to the Patio.
See you in paradise soon!
