Key West Artisan Market Finally Returns February 14

The long awaited first Key West Artisan Market of the Season will take place on Sunday, February 14 from 10 am to 2 pm at Clarence H. Higgs Memorial Beach, Key West. The show has relocated to the parking lot at Sonny Mccoy Indigenous Park, 1801 White Street, across from White Street Pier and the other side of the Higgs Beach Dog Parks by the Southernmost Bocce Key West courts. This is City property which has granted a lease to the Market to operate based on strict adherence to covid policies and mandates. The Market has teamed up with the Key West Wildlife Center who will be open for free (donation) tours. 

The Market will be familiar to fans of the Higgs Beach location. Guests will enjoy bloody marys, mimosas along with a full bar from Great Events Catering, Islamorada Coffee Roasters, smoothies, natural juices and cut fruit, plus multiple food stalls offering eat-here or take-away. Guests will shop a curated outdoor market offering fine crafts, art and jewelry from talented Florida Keys makers and stock a pantry and fridge with fresh produce, artisan cheeses from The Cheese Lovers, local seafood from Mundy The Pirate Seafood, honey, pickles, pastries, cigars, soaps and much more. Guests are encouraged to bring a lawn chair and listen to local musicians presented by the The X Key West, catch The X News Hour radio show live, support our featured charities and meet celebrity authors from the Key West Writers Guild.

Stringent safety measures and precautions will be in place to guard guests and the vendors who serve them and to strictly adhere to City policy. Masks will be required, booths spaced out, social distance signage posted and the number of guests per stall limited. Key West First Legal Rum Distillery  “Ruminizer” hand sanitizing stations will be at the entrances. Organizers realize patrons will be eager to socialize but are reminded to not congregate in groups larger than 10 and to wear masks when less than six feet apart.

The pet friendly market is conveniently located close to the Higgs Beach Dog Park, free West Martello Tower botanical gardens, White Street Pier and the Atlantic ocean across the street at Higgs Beach. Open 10 am to 2 pm every other Sunday in season (plus a bonus market on February 21), by locals, for locals. 

The Market offers free entry and ample free parking. Guests are encouraged to ride bikes and BYOB (bring your own bags) and WYM (wear your mask). Other dates will include February 21, March 7, 21, April 4, 18.
