Key Largo & Upper Keys Events
What's happening in Key Largo & Upper Keys
Key Largo is the first stop coming down from the mainland: Mile Marker 92 to 113, the Upper Keys, where US-1 finally hits the islands. Below MM 92 it becomes Tavernier, which this calendar counts as part of the Key Largo region, so the region runs from MM 90 to 113. The event scene here leans toward water. John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park runs its own programs year-round. Live music shows up everywhere along the highway every weekend. November through April is the heaviest stretch, packed with fishing tournaments and nonprofit fundraisers, the family-friendly Light Up Key Largo, and the famous Upper Keys Irish Fest, all on top of snowbird and gala season. Summer is lighter but still going, and it closes with the biggest Fourth of July parade in the Florida Keys.
