Indigenous Park at Higgs Beach, Key West
Celebrate the fun, freedom, and famously “sovereign state of mind” of the Conch Republic at this special edition of the Key West Artisan Market — the final official event of Conch Republic Days. Shop a curated outdoor market with fine crafts and art from talented Florida Keys makers, a wide variety of food & libations, local authors, and glorious ocean views as we wrap up this iconic island celebration in true Conch Republic style.
After a week of Bed Races, sea battles, parades, parties, and hilariously historic antics, this closing-day market offers the perfect place to wind down, support local creators, and soak in the easygoing island spirit that defines Key West. Wear your Conch Republic gear with pride or pick up something festive from our makers to commemorate this year’s “sovereign state of mind” festivities.
Sip & Savor: fresh coffee, Bloody Marys, mimosas, a full bar by Great Events Catering, plus fresh coffee, juices, and cut fruit.
Snack & Feast: food trucks and stalls with eat-here or take-away options, artisan cheese, breads, fresh seafood, meats, and Florida produce. Enjoy global flavors from the Mediterranean, Mexico, Argentina, Columbia, India, and the Caribbean.
Shop Small: experience a curated outdoor market filled with fine crafts, art, and culinary delights from talented makers who live and create in the Keys. Discover the perfect souvenir, a striking piece of art, handcrafted jewelry, unique woodwork, or island-inspired clothing and accessories — treasures you won’t find anywhere else.
Meet the Makers: enjoy a live remote from Keys Yacht Rock Station 93.7 with your favorite island tunes, on-air interviews, and impromptu sing-alongs with talented musicians. Connect with local authors signing their books, and chat with Keys artists as they create masterpieces inspired by island life right before your eyes.
