It’s officially summer and Key West continues to sizzle with events happening this June. School’s out and days grow longer giving you plenty of time to soak up the sun here in the sub-tropics. Dance, eat, swim and learn this month with our must-do’s list:

Cool off June 8th and jump in for this 12.5 mile swim around Key West. You’ll be swimming in 80 degrees (cooler than being on land), through two different oceans: the Gulf of Mexico & Atlantic. Take on the feat solo, or join a relay time and become a true merperson.

Live The Local Culture

Indulge in some of the freshest seafood in town on the Historic Seaport Food Tour. Fisherman deliver their catch daily and you truly get to taste the culture of Key West. This afternoon will leave you feeling like a local.

Get a little Fruity!

Learn all about different varieties of fruit at the Tropical Fruit Festival. You’ll get to taste all types of tropical fruits as well as how to plant and grow them, watch cooking demos, delight in some tasty cocktails and even have a chance to purchase some of your own plants to bring home.

12th Annual VFW Fishing Tournament

A family fun tournament, this event awards over $15,000 in total cash and prizes including $5,000 for the heaviest dolphin fish. All proceeds benefit disabled and needy veterans in Monroe County. Register here.
