Mel Fisher Days 2016: “Party Like a Local”

Key West, Florida Keys—Every summer a celebration is held in honor of Mel Fisher, a man who pursued his dreams and discovered a fortune in treasure just off Key West, inspiring millions to follow their own dreams, earning him the title of The World’s Greatest Treasure Hunter. This summer’s Mel Fisher Days are set for Friday July 15 and Saturday July 16 in Key West. We will commemorate Mel Fisher’s famous 16-year search for the Spanish galleon Atocha and its Motherlode discovery while raising money for our Key West community. There will be a treasure-trove of events ranging from the educational to the adventurous and 100% of all net proceeds from these events will benefit Wesley House Family Services, Inc.

Mel Fisher Days highlights include tours of the 90 foot salvage vessel, J.B. Magruder that is used to seek still–undiscovered Atocha artifacts, exclusive behind-the-scenes tours of the Fishers’ private conservation lab and the rare opportunity to meet some of the crew that found the Atocha’s riches. New this year, “Party like a Local” Block Party and the first ever $2,500 T-Shirt Lottery. The prestigious Mel Fisher Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Treasure Salvor John Brandon at our Kickoff Party at Schooner’s Wharf Bar.

The Block Party will feature a free concert at the Custom House on Front Street with great food and drink vendors, the $2,500 T-shirt lottery and our world famous silent auction.

Event details and advance registration discount tickets for lab and boat tours are available now at www.MelFisherDays.com
