World Sword Swallower’s Day
Ripley’s Believe It or Not! will pay tribute to the ancient art of sword swallowing by holding free sword swallowing performances as part of World Sword Swallower’s Day on Saturday, February 27. Two things to remember – that’s solid steel and yes, it’s all real.
Ripley’s will showcase the greatest group of sword swallowers ever assembled and offer free performances for the public at several of its Odditoriums around the world.
In Key West, the island’s own D.W. Blademaster will put his death-defying skills on display. He’s been swallowing swords for more than 40 years! The performance will start at 2:00 pm with an official swallow at 2:27 pm to coincide with the 2/27 date. Ripley’s Key West Odditorium is located at 108 Duval St. The sword swallowing performances will be FREE, but admission is required to tour the Odditorium.
