Key West Artisan Market: Stop the Cycle Edition Spotlights Child Abuse Prevention Month

KEY WEST, FL – The Key West Artisan Market invites the community to come together for the Stop the Cycle Edition on Sunday, April 6, from 10 AM to 2 PM at Clarence H. Higgs Memorial Beach, with the market set up in the parking lot at Sonny McCoy Indigenous Park (1801 White Street), across from White Street Pier. This special market edition highlights National Child Abuse Prevention Month, in partnership with Wesley House Family Services, a vital nonprofit whose mission is to promote and enhance the safety, well-being, and development of children by educating, supporting, and strengthening families throughout the Florida Keys.
 
April is a time to recognize the importance of creating strong, nurturing communities that are dedicated to the well-being of all children. Wesley House will be on-site to raise awareness and provide information on how individuals and families can help prevent abuse and break cycles of trauma through early intervention, support services, and advocacy.
 
Guests can enjoy an enticing selection of Bloody Marys, mimosas, a full bar, coffee, natural juices, and fresh cut fruit, along with a wide array of food stalls offering both dine-in and take-away options. The international flavors span the globe, with cuisine inspired by Argentina, Italy, the Middle East, Latin America, India and local favorites including BBQ and fresh seafood.
 
The market is a hub for creativity and craftsmanship, featuring a curated collection of fine crafts, art, and jewelry from talented Florida Keys makers. Shoppers can also explore one-of-a-kind original works including paintings, hand-painted tiles, delicate watercolors, paper cut designs, fused glass, and multi-media art pieces. Stock up on essentials with offerings of fresh produce, artisan cheeses, honey, baked bread, pastries, cigars, soaps, and so much more.
 
Bring a lawn chair and enjoy performances by amazing local musicians, support featured charities including the Key West Wildlife Center—which will be open for free (donation-based) tours—and connect with the team from Wesley House to learn more about their work and ways to help.
 
Conveniently located near the Higgs Beach Dog Park, the lush West Martello Tower botanical gardens, and the iconic White Street Pier, this pet-friendly market offers the perfect Sunday outing with ocean views just across the street.
 
The Key West Artisan Market runs every Sunday through April from 10 AM to 2 PM, celebrating all that makes this island community so vibrant—by locals, for locals. Admission and parking are free. Guests are encouraged to ride bikes and BYOB (bring your own bags) to support eco-conscious shopping.
