OFFICIAL END OF AMERICA’S HURRICANE SEASON PARTY and KEY WEST’S MARITIME HOLIDAY PARTY

Key West, Florida Keys... Admiral Finbar and the High Command of the Conch Republic Military, along with the Pirates in Paradise Crewe invite one and all to join them for the Key West Maritime Holiday Party, scheduled for Monday, November 30 at 3pm aboard the USCGC Mohawk at Truman Annex Waterfront.

This holiday party for members of Key West’s salty maritime community, including the Key West Maritime Historical Society, USCGC Mohawk Museum Ship and Propeller Club of Key West, is also open to the public. Live entertainment includes performances by Howard Livingston, Kat Epple, Rich McKay and Mary Spears and the piratical antics of the Captain’s of the Devil’s Triangle and other Pirates in Paradise Festival crew. Cost is $15 and $10 for members.

Not a member of one of these organizations? No problem. Donate $35 to the MOHAWK Memorial Museum and you’ll receive a complimentary membership to the Key West Maritime Historical Society and FREE admission to the party!

At 4:30pm, NOAA's weather forecaster Matt Strahan (and the Conch Republic Navy’s official weather guesser) and his crew will ceremoniously burn the Hurricane Flags, symbolically signifying the end of the 2009 Hurricane Season, which once again spared any harm or misfortune.

The Official End of America’s Hurricane Season Ceremony, Key West Maritime Holiday Party and Key West’s Pirates in Paradise Festival are sponsored in part by Pirate’s Choice Rum, La Te Da, Cypress House, Courtyard by Marriott, Days Inn Key West and the Schooner WOLF.
