The Key West Artisan Market kicks off its 12th season with the “Welcome to the Party” Fantasy Fest edition Sunday, October 20, 2023, in the parking lot at Sonny Mccoy Indigenous Park, 1801 White Street. This unique show will be from 10 am to 2 pm with all the regular artists and vendors and again from 5 pm to 7 pm with a selection of food and beverage to support the throngs of viewers lined up to watch the Zombie Bike Parade.
The Key West Artisan Market is a unique open air bazaar filled with artists, authors, chef-made cuisine, craftspeople, performers and fresh produce representing diversity, creativity, ingenuity and locally made products. Participants must live and also create/curate in the Keys in order to qualify. Each show offers a different theme and features one or more local charities.

There is also a special Fantasy Market Friday, October 25 from 10 am to 4 pm at the Conch Republic Seafood Company/631 Green Street and a huge Black Friday show, November 29 from 10 am to 6 pm at the Truman Waterfront Park.

Please note each Artisan Market has a different theme and supports a unique non-profit each week in addition to the Key West Wildlife Center and Key West Author’s Guild.
