5. Hemingway Days

The Buzz -- Papa's seemingly everywhere when the annual Hemingway Days festivities roll around – and it's not because of posters and stage events all over Key West honoring the literary legend. No, the true culprit is the riotous Hemingway Look-Alike Contest held at Sloppy Joe's, the writer's favorite Duval Street watering hole. Hemingway's legacy, both as a writer and as an adventurer, is celebrated in other ways during this July event, including a mock "running of the bulls," readings, an arm wrestling contest, and a marlin fishing tourney. Papa would've been proud!
