Third Annual Papio Kinetic Sculpture Parade

If one man’s junk is another man’s treasure, then the late Key Largo folk artist Stanley Papio was a treasure hunter extraordinaire. Fans of “outsider art” can celebrate the renegade metal sculptor’s legacy with a people-powered parade of mobile sculptures crafted in the spirit of his extraordinary creations. Parade kicks off in front of Custom House and proceeds down Duval Street to the Southernmost Beach Café.
