Only in Key West: The End of Hurricane Season Tradition
2025/12/03
Hurricane season is officially over, and in true Key West fashion, we celebrate by literally burning the hurricane warning flags at the Truman Waterfront Park. In this episode, we share the story behind this quirky, emotional, and deeply local tradition — from its beginnings after a brutal storm cycle to the modern-day ceremony that brings the whole island together. We talk about what the end of hurricane season really means to locals, the history of the Conch Republic’s Schooner Wolf and Admiral Finbar, and why November 30th feels like our own island New Year’s Eve. Zero hurricanes this year, a flaming flag, music, rum, and a big collective exhale… we made it!!!
