Conch Shell Blowing Contest Key West
The Conch Shell Blowing Contest is an annual event held in Key West, Florida, where participants compete to see who can blow a conch shell the loudest. The contest is open to anyone, and all you need to enter is a conch shell.
History of the Contest
The Conch Shell Blowing Contest began in 1972 as a way to celebrate the history and culture of Key West. Conch shells have been used for centuries by the people of the Caribbean to communicate and to call people together. The contest is a way to honor this tradition and to keep it alive.
