Piracy on the high seas must be stopped…
The Conch Republic will be under attack, now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their island!
Join your Conch Republic comrades-in-arms at Schooner Wharf Bar for the annual Conch Republic Naval Parade and Great Battle Surrender Ceremony, Friday, April 24th.
The U.S. Border Patrol will infiltrate the Conch Republic, and all able bodies are commanded to load up on ammunition (wet Cuban bread) and stand their ground against the advancing troops in Key West Harbor.
Let freedom ring with the bread you fling!
Suit up in your battle fatigues (foul weather gear) and prepare for the Coast Guard’s surrender to the Conch Republic.
Then retrieve your wounded comrades and make your war-weary way to Schooner Wharf Bar for the Victory Party and Surrender Ceremony at 9 p.m.
The upbeat vibe of the Andy Westcott Band jammin’ to great R&B, bring your dancin’ shoes! This band definitely gets the dance floor alive!
