Key West, FL — The Key West Artisan Market continues its 2025–26 season on Sunday, December 14, from 10 am to 2 pm at Indigenous Park at Higgs Beach with the “Preserve Paradise” Edition, featuring the Old Island Restoration Foundation. This holiday-season market invites the community to shop local, celebrate the island’s architectural heritage, and find meaningful gifts while supporting an organization dedicated to preserving Key West’s unique character.
 
Representatives from the Old Island Restoration Foundation will be onsite sharing the history and significance of their mission and accepting donations. The Foundation cares for and operates the Oldest House Museum & Gardens, one of Key West’s most cherished historic sites, offering guided tours, educational programming, and a picturesque venue for weddings, receptions, and special events. Guests are encouraged to learn more about the property’s legacy and explore ways to support ongoing preservation efforts.
 
At the Artisan Market, visitors can shop a curated outdoor event showcasing fine crafts and art from talented Florida Keys makers, festive food and libations, local authors signing books, and beautiful ocean views. This edition offers a vibrant, island-inspired holiday shopping experience, featuring handcrafted jewelry, original artwork, home décor, apparel, specialty foods, artisan breads and cheeses, fresh produce, and authentic dishes from the Mediterranean, Mexico, Argentina, Columbia, and the Caribbean. Great Events Catering offers a full-service bar with Bloody Marys, mimosas, beer and wine, or guests may enjoy fresh-brewed coffee, nitrogen infused teas, pressed juices, ice cream or boozy popsicles.
 
Keys Yacht Rock Station 93.7 will broadcast live from the market throughout the day, sharing island tunes, interviews, and community highlights. A featured local musician will perform live on-air as part of the broadcast. Guests can also watch artists at work, meet local authors signing books, and explore the newly remodeled Key West Wildlife Center located onsite at Indigenous Park.
