Sushi, AKA Gary Marion, is renowned for her stunning one-of-a-kind gowns stating, “I design all of my New Year’s costumes from scratch, but I also have a large collection of rare vintage and collectible pieces from many eras and cultures that I’m always referencing for inspiration.”Īs midnight approaches, Sushi is to be lowered from the balcony of the venue as she has for more than twenty years, to a festive street-side stage as merrymakers gather to view the event, cheer and applaud. She will perch in a super-sized red high-heel shoe suspended high above the spectators below while wearing one of her dazzling yearly outfits. The event is a warm-weather takeoff on New York City’s Times Square “ball drop,” and famed drag queen Sushi is set to be the star of the show. Looking for a unique, warm-weather way to ring in the New Year? Join thousands of revelers in celebrating the arrival of 2019 with Key West’s annual New Year’s Eve “ Red Shoe Drop,” also called the “Drag Queen Drop.”
