What do a spicy slice of Key Lime pie, a rare 13-star American flag displayed publicly for the first time in 50 years, and the nation’s 250th birthday have in common? They’re all coming together during this year’s Key Lime Festival.

As part of the July 1-5 Festival’s patriotic and flavorful Independence Week offerings, the Alex Vega Key West Firehouse Museum, located at 1024 Grinnell Street, will host the fiery “5-Alarm Pie Challenge” and showcase a rare Centennial-era American flag.
On Friday, July 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the historic museum will welcome culinary adventurers for the “5-Alarm Pie Challenge,” where Florida’s official state pie gets a decidedly fiery makeover.
Visitors will also have a rare opportunity to view a 13-star American flag created for the nation’s Centennial celebration in 1876. The flag, which has been in David Sloan’s family for six generations, will be exhibited publicly for the first time in half a century at the Firehouse Museum on July 2, 3, and 4.
