Race World Offshore has released the full social schedule for its 2026 Key West World Championships, confirming eight nights of parties running alongside three days of racing at Truman Waterfront Park.
The championships run from Sunday, November 1 to Sunday, November 8, opening with the First State Bank World's Fastest Boat Parade along Duval Street and closing with the RWO Awards Ceremony at Coffee Butler Amphitheater, presented by XINSURANCE.
Fifteen parties in total. No let-up between them.
Race days fall on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, each featuring seven races between 10am and 3.45pm, with podium presentations held on the Outer Mole afterwards. Sunday's Conch Republic Championship Race Day adds a flyover from VFC-111 Sun Downers at 12.20pm, timed to coincide with the racing out on the water.
Several fixtures return night after night. Smokin Tuna hosts the Official Racers Welcome Party on Monday, presented by Good Boy Vodka, followed later that night by the Racer's Pole Position Party at Vixen's, presented by Demon Bikini. That Vixen's slot repeats on Wednesday, then again on Friday night after the Southernmost Continental Championship Race Day.
Tuesday brings the Tiki House Party on Duval Street, presented by Key West First Legal Rum. Thursday shifts the action to Greene Street and Front Street, with the Speed on the Water & Greene Street Party ahead of the Official Racer's Party at Hog's Breath Saloon, again backed by Good Boy Vodka.
Friday is the standout night of the week. The Keystar Construction Duval Street Party kicks off at 6pm, running into the Bali Bar Official Racer's Party Bash on Duval, before the UIM World Champion Crowning takes place on Duval Street itself at 8pm.
Saturday is quieter by comparison, with the Rick's Upstairs Championship Party the only scheduled stop before Sunday's finale.
Key West remains the marquee event on the Race World Offshore calendar, drawing competitors and crews from around the world for the week-long championship series.
Organisers say times and locations may still change ahead of November, and have asked attendees to party responsibly across the eight-night schedule.
