🍽️ Food & Drink Events

Find food & drink events across the Florida Keys

Food and drink events in the Florida Keys lean heavily on seafood (this is the Keys), but the calendar is more varied than you'd expect. The Original Florida Keys Seafood Festival in March (Key Largo) and the Original Marathon Seafood Festival are the two biggest. Key West Food and Wine Festival runs in January. There's a rum-distillery scene now (Key West First Legal Rum, Hemingway Rum Company) with regular tastings. Restaurant Week, chili cookoffs, wine dinners at Cheeca and Pierre's, and Lobsterfest in Key West in August round it out. Bring an appetite.
