The 2018 Bubbas: Key West People’s Choice awards took place before a sold out Key West Theater on July 21. More than 300 gathered to witness 86 winners take home the coveted 2018 Bubba Award, which was decided by voters that cast over 10,000 ballots. And the best part? More than $16,00 was raised for the Bahama Village Music Program. Checkout the winners and pics from the evening here!
