Hemingway Day's 25th Anniversary

     Like birds flocking south for the winter, they come to Key West around this time every year. Who? The Ernest Hemingway look-alikes. Some come to pay homage and some come for an excuse to drink. Most come to compete in the Hemingway Days popular look-alike contest.
     Ernest Hemingway left an enduring legacy in Key West — his zest for life, literary accomplishments and steadfast affection for the island he called home throughout the 1930s is well documented and celebrated once a year. There is much more to the celebration which begins today (July 19) and runs through Sunday (July 24). Although Hemingway Days is celebrated once a year, tourists can see into the life of Ernest Hemingway any day of the year at Hemingway House & Museum (pictured here). >Learn more
