Key West is known for its sandy beaches, crystal waters, and laid-back atmosphere. However, this Florida island also features a jam-packed calendar of events. No matter the time of year, there’s some kind of festival, event, or local happening taking place. One of the most popular ones is the Key West Songwriters Festival. To help you learn more about this annual event and how to enjoy it, the PRIME VACATIONS team has put together this handy guide.
How to Attend the Key West Event
The Key West Songwriters Festival is an annual event held at the end of April. Tickets can be purchased online, but they are known to sell out, so we recommend purchasing yours as soon as they become available.Â
What Can You Expect from the Festival?
The five-day festival features performances from up-and-coming artists as well as recognizable names. Past acts include Kacey Musgraves, Jake Owen, Randy Houser, and Maren Morris. Shows take place at different locations throughout Key West, including bars, resorts, theaters, beaches, and even boats. In addition to ticketed shows, there are several chances to listen to live music for free during the festival.
The annual event also raises funds for several charitable organizations, such as the BMI Foundation and CreatiVets. Every year, the festival auctions off a guitar signed by the artists of that year.Â
More information on this year’s festival will be found online as the event draws closer.
