About the Venue...

Celebrate beards and mustaches of all types with Key West's newest hot spot Willie's Chicken Shack. Willie’s is open late, even after the clubs close.

Contest History...

This is the 70th anniversary of the original Syracuse facial hair club Hank's Mustache Club's contest. In 1953 the contest was held at Hank's Cafe on Marcellus Street in downtown Syracuse, NY. The event was popular and covered the Syracuse Post Standard journalists. As per tradition, men grew mustaches and beards during lent and the were rewarded with a clam bake.
