Key West Key Lime Festival celebrates island’s tart treasure

From Wednesday, July 1, through Sunday, July 5, Key West, Florida’s annual Key Lime Festival returns to celebrate the world’s most legendary citrus with a zesty lineup of events, staged on the very island where Key lime pie was conceived.

The five-day festival features the wildly popular annual World Famous Key Lime Pie Eating Championship; a gravity-defying Key lime pie drop competition – from the top of the Key West Lighthouse; an irresistible menu of Key lime-inspired dinners and brunches, a Fourth of July 5K; and for those with a taste for limey libations, Key lime rum tastings and a bar Sip & Stroll. There’s much more, including numerous family-friendly activities.

The Key Lime Festival 2026 is presented in part by the Monroe County Tourist Development Council and We’ve Got the Keys. For more information visit http://www.keylimefestival.com.
