This Thursday (7/27) is The Deadline To Have Your Team Name Printed On The Tank Top!

Schooner Wharf’s Battle of the Bars will mark its 24th anniversary on Aug. 6th.

Game day is getting close! It’s time to muster the troops, assemble a platoon of seven and earn your stripes on the hilarious battlefield while raising money for local charities.

The battlefield is an outrageous relay race that challenges team members to make and serve the perfect margarita, sort recyclables, tap a keg and pour six draft beers before downing one.

Teams race against the clock and each other for the fastest times that will earn them a spot in the next heat and then lead to victory and a year of bragging rights around town. But that’s not all the tactics in fundraising…teams are not only allowed, but are encouraged to bribe the judges for a chance to advance to the next round.

All bribe money and $35 entry fees are donated to local charities, with Battle of the Bars having generated $319,752 for the Florida Keys community since it all started in 1993. Something all the participating teams can be extremely proud of!

Proceeds from this year’s Battle of the Bars will benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of The Keys, whose mission is to enable all young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens in a safe place to learn and grow; and Bahama Village Music Program, which provides free musical education and instruction to children aged 6 to 16 in our community. The program creates a great sense of community spirit and pride, fosters important mentor relationships and enhances students’ self-esteem.

The money raised at Battle of the Bars will help ensure the continuance of both their missions.

The team contributing the most money will win a Deepest Pockets special trophy and there is also a prize awarded for Most Outrageous Team Costume.

Registration starts at 11 a.m. on the day of the battle and games start at 1:00.
