Conch Republic Independence Celebration

conch republic independence

Every year visitors join Florida Keys residents for the Conch Republic Independence Celebration, a quirky event honoring the birth of the republic and its place in Keys history. The republic was founded in April 1982 to protest the installation of a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint that stopped traffic at the top of the Florida Keys Overseas Highway, the only road in and out of the Keys. This year's independence celebration is April 15-24, 2022, and we invite you to be our guests in these luxury vacation rentals from our collection.
