When: December

Ringing in the New Year is a drag — literally. Since , thousands of Key West onlookers have gathered around Bourbon St. Pub to see local drag legend Sushi (aka Gary Marion) descend from the building’s second story in a six-foot ruby-red stiletto as the clock strikes midnight. The glittering spectacle is a campy take on NYC’s ball drop, and the eclectic crowds rival the hordes in Times Square. Young families, leather daddies, and bohemian grannies all show up to cheer on Sushi and her gargantuan shoe.

An outdoor stage features other drag

Ride the entire stretch of Florida’s Overseas Highway and eventually, you’ll reach Gay Key West, a hedonistic island paradise among the Florida Keys archipelago, shaped by LGBT pioneers of the s. Come to rest in the open arms of Key West’s inviting turquoise waters, revel amid eclectic LGBTQ pool parties and join an accepting family of locals who pride themselves on inclusion. Forever set to vacation mode, every day in Key West is a glittering sun-soaked celebration packed with a plethora of wild gay annual events such as Tropical Heat and Fantasyfest, topped off with all the drag nightlife a queen could wish for on Duval Street. Discover the top things to do in Gay Key West, as curated by the experts at Mr Hudson.
