Celebrate the 4th of July Key West Style!

Celebrate the 4th of July in Key West with a BANG!

Summer is in full swing, and we are getting excited to celebrate the RED, WHITE and BLUE here in Key West…

Whether you prefer whipped cream or meringue on your Key Lime pie, the WHITE topping is many people’s favorite part of our signature dessert. The 6th Annual Key Lime Festival, taking place from June 30-July 4, and is the perfect time to celebrate our country AND our favorite citrus treat. Coney Island has its famous hot dog eating contest every 4th of July… Well, Key West will crown a Mile High Key Lime Pie Eatin’ World Champion! Visit www.keylimefestival.com for a complete schedule of the many zesty events.

Feel like you need to work off all the Key Lime Pie? Take part in the Rotary’s Fourth of July 5K Walk/Run, benefiting the Edward B Knight Scholarship Fund! Wednesday July 4th at 7:30am at White Street Pier.

Time to get out your RED checkered picnic blankets for the annual 4th of July Picnic at the Casa Marina Resort hosted by the Key West Rotary. This is a great place to view the Key West Fireworks Celebration at 9 p.m. Festivities get started at 5pm, and general admission gets you live local music and dancing on the beach, family activities (bounce houses, face painting, etc), silent auction, and classic picnic fare for purchase. Or you can treat yourself to the VIP treatment, which includes an upscale buffet, open bar, and prime seating for the fireworks!

If you prefer to view your fireworks on the BLUE waters of Key West, why not head out with Fury Key West?! Set sail for our famous Key West sunset, and once that dazzles you, the sea and sky will light up sparkle with flare, the way only Key West know how.
