4 Ways Key West Rings In The New Year

Villa Josine

As everyone knows, Key West loves a good party, and we'll never pass up a fancy dress affair. We don't even restrict ourselves to one party per celebration.  For instance, on New Year's Eve there are four ways to ring in the New Year in Key West!

  • Conch Shell Drop – outside of Sloppy Joe’s, in the heart of Old Town and Duval Street the party is in the street.
  • Pirate Wench Drop – want to see a Pirate Wench lowered from a schooner mast? Then head over to Schooner Wharf for the fun.
  • Red Shoe Drop – As seen on CNN, Sushi will be lowered in a large red shoe outside of Bourbon Street. A lot of fun!
  • Key Lime Wedge Drop – Sunset Pier drops a giant Key Lime wedge to ring in the New Year.

The end of the year is fast approaching, so start browsing vacation rentals on our website asap.  Here's where you'll want to stay to enjoy the best of Key West on New Year's Eve!
