Travelers should leave their indoor voices at home at this cacophonous celebration, which draws in over 10,000 attendees. The hollering contest is not the only pursuit for travelers to enjoy at this gathering; conch shell blowing, a greasy pole climb, and the classic game of corn hole are also integral to the hollerin' hoopla. Those with a firm grip can even compete to hold on to a greased watermelon, while local firemen try to knock it from contestants' hands using a fire hose.
