From Wednesday, July 1, through Sunday, July 5, Key West, Florida’s annual Key Lime Festival returns to celebrate the world’s most legendary citrus with a zesty lineup of events, staged on the very island where Key lime pie was conceived.

The five-day festival features the wildly popular annual World Famous Key Lime Pie Eating Championship; a gravity-defying Key lime pie drop competition – from the top of the Key West Lighthouse; an irresistible menu of Key lime-inspired dinners and brunches, a Fourth of July 5K; and for those with a taste for limey libations, Key lime rum tastings and a bar Sip & Stroll. There’s much more, including numerous family-friendly activities.

The Key Lime Festival 2026 is presented in part by the Monroe County Tourist Development Council and We’ve Got the Keys. For more information visit http://www.keylimefestival.com.
