Every year, Conch Citizens from throughout the republic gather for the Red Ribbon Bed Race. In true Conch Style, there’s nothing typical about this bed race. Conch citizens and foreigners prepare for month’s for this even. If you’re lucky enough to attend, you’ll see beds animal-shaped beds, beds with canopies, beds with hammocks and much more.

All proceeds from the race benefit Aids Help, Inc. of Key West. This non-profit organization provides counceling, healthcare and housing. More information including pictures and videos from last year’s race can be found on the Red Ribbon Bed Race website, which will hopefully be update soon.
