We've made fun, laminated 'parade passes' available for $30 through the website. These will be mailed regular postal service first of August. All proceeds are collected by the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys and distributed 100% to the Bahamas Village Music Program and Reef Relief. Be clear, this is not a ticket. It is a contribution. The Second Line is completely free. But your pass does get a few benefits locally and also the opportunity to participate virtually if you can't make to Key West this year. Your support means the world to these charities & you get a cool first edition souvenir.

Gather round in the lower 100 block of Duval Street starting at 4 pm. The Second Line will step off promptly at 5 ⏰ (of course 🌞). The route is 5 blocks down Duval, right on Southard approximately 5 blocks to the Truman Waterfront where we have a small celebration planned. Bring plenty of water in refillable bottles and help us keep this one of the cleanest parades on the planet!

You may leave the parade route at any point but we hope you'll want to join us at the Waterfront Park. The free Duval Loop picks up there. You may also decorate and walk your bike (for our visitors we recommend rentals at Eaton Bikes) and lock it up at the park to ride home later. There will be very limited car parking - you could even stage a car - but don't forget to pay the meter. Also rideshare and taxis are plentiful and quickly available.

According to the NY times, "The second line is a type of parade historically associated with jazz funerals; the term "second line" is often thought originally to have referred to the secondary group of participants in such a parade, behind the band and the family." You'll see these in places like New Orleans, the Caribbean and in Key West. It's a fitting memorial involving music and friendship to celebrate Key West's favorite son. We hope you'll join us.

The Party in the Park is more of a casual music event with Just a Few Friends at the Truman Waterfront Park (not at the Amphitheater). You may bring blanket and lawn chairs and there will be a chair rental vendor with about 300 bag chairs for rent for $9 each.

Parade pass wearers will have a special section toward the front of the stage to hang out together. Please keep in mind it is not big enough for all 1500 of you nor intended for you to remain there the entire 5 hours. Come and go at your leisure.

We encourage guests to move around, meet new people, visit the vendors, get some food and adult beverages, take lots of photos and enjoy the beautiful sunset over the Atlantic ocean.
