Key West Artisan Market “Mother’s Day” Pop-Up Edition Features MARC House on Sunday, May 11

Key West, FL — The Key West Artisan Market returns for a special Mother’s Day Pop-Up Edition on Sunday, May 11, from 10 am to 2 pm at Indigenous Park at Higgs Beach, located in the parking lot at Sonny McCoy Indigenous Park (1801 White Street), across from White Street Pier. This one-day-only summer market invites locals and visitors to celebrate the moms in their lives while supporting MARC House, the featured nonprofit for the event.

At the Artisan Market, guests will enjoy a thoughtfully curated, scaled-down version of the beloved weekly market, highlighting what matters most—local creativity, connection, and meaningful gifting. Shoppers can explore a selection of handcrafted jewelry, original artwork, candles, body care, home goods, and tropical-inspired items created by talented Florida Keys artisans. A small group of food vendors will offer fresh produce, pastries, and light bites, along with refreshing juices and coffee.

This market highlights MARC House, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting adults with developmental disabilities through meaningful employment, life skills training, and community integration programs. Just in time for Mother’s Day, MARC House will be offering beautiful orchids and plants grown in their nursery—thoughtful, locally cultivated gifts that directly support their mission and the individuals they serve.

This special edition is designed to give moms the experience they truly want—time together and the chance to choose something they love. Guests are encouraged to bring mom to the market and let her pick out the perfect gift while supporting local makers and small businesses.

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

The Key West Artisan Market will continue its summer pop-up series with additional dates throughout the season:
Sunday, June 21 — Father’s Day Edition
Sunday, July 5 — Independence Edition
Sunday, August 9 — Lobster Best Edition

All markets are held from 10 am to 2 pm at Higgs Beach.

Admission and parking are free, and guests are encouraged to ride bikes and BYOB — bring your own shopping bags.
