Key West Artisan Market “Lobster Best” Edition Wraps Up Summer Pop-Up Series on Sunday, August 9

Key West, FL — The Key West Artisan Market concludes its 2026 Summer Pop-Up Series on Sunday, August 9, from 10 am to 2 pm at Indigenous Park at Higgs Beach with the Lobster Best Edition, celebrating the opening of Florida Keys lobster season. This special summer finale invites locals and visitors alike to experience the flavors, artistry, and laid-back island lifestyle that define Key West while supporting the talented artists, makers, and small businesses that keep the local creative economy thriving year-round.

Guests are invited to browse a thoughtfully curated collection of handcrafted artwork, jewelry, tropical home décor, candles, body care products, textiles, and other one-of-a-kind creations by Florida Keys artisans. A select group of food vendors will offer fresh produce, pastries, light bites, refreshing juices, and seasonal specialties, including lobster empanadas, creating the perfect Sunday outing before heading to the water or enjoying one of the many restaurants celebrating lobster season throughout the island.

The Key West Wildlife Center, located onsite at Indigenous Park, will be open for free (donation-based) tours, giving visitors an opportunity to learn about local wildlife rescue and rehabilitation efforts. The pet-friendly market is conveniently located near Higgs Beach Dog Park, West Martello Tower botanical gardens, White Street Pier, and just steps from the Atlantic Ocean.

The August market marks the final summer pop-up before the Key West Artisan Market returns this fall with its full seasonal schedule, once again bringing together local artists, makers, musicians, authors, nonprofits, food vendors, and the community for another exciting season by the sea.
