The Hemingway Days Festival is a bonanza of white beards, safari shorts and rum cocktails, taking place annually in Florida's idyllic Key West.
The week long festival (21-26 July) celebrates the life of literary giant Ernest Hemingway, who made the (then) sleepy town of Key West his home in the 30s. The festival kicks off on Hemingway's birthday, when up to 150 "Papa" lookalikes from around the world converge on his favourite rum shack, Sloppy Joes, for the annual look-a-like-competition.
Other testosterone fuelled events throughout the festival including arm westling competitions and the unique 'Running of the Bulls'; a slow moving and not-so-dangerous tribute to Hemingway’s obsession with Spanish culture and bullfighting.
