Conch Shell Blowing Contest - This unique contest happens each year at Sunset Pier in Mallory Square, and is sponsored by the Old Island Restoration Foundation. The OIRF has dubbed the contest the Conch Honk, and kids love it. Take a look at previous years' photos, and you'll see lots of kids, although anyone can enter. It's free to enter, and you can bring your own conch or buy one at the pier. You're judged by the sound you make with your shell, not the musical quality. However, entertainment is often provided by a professional conch shell musician, just for inspiration. |
