Highlights from the 59th Conch Shell Blowing Contest, better known as "The Conch Honk," held March 4, 2023 in Key West. The men’s division winner was Brian Cardis of Macon, Georgia, who tooted an excerpt from Jimmy Buffett’s hit, “Fins.” Carol Whiteley of Ontario, Canada, blew a long sturdy blast on her shell to take the women’s division title. The quirky contest is staged each year at the Oldest House & Gardens Key West by the Old Island Restoration Foundation. #keywest #floridakeys #jimmybuffe

Blowing the pū (conch shell) has many meanings, and is one way Hawaiians announce their presence when entering wahi pana (sacred places). Umi wears a traditional kapa malo garment, lei poʻo (head lei) made from ti leaf, and an intricate lei hulu (feather lei) around his neck.

Blowing the conch shell was a means for escaped slaves to communicate across the mountains and dense forests they ran away to. They had complex coding through the varied conch shell sounds that slave owners could not understand the meanings behind the conch horn. A story via oral history of Saint Lucia states that slaves were told when they heard the sound of the conch - they knew that they were free. The conch shell was then sounded on Emancipation day across the valleys. #knowyourcaribbean #co
