21st Annual Island Fest Sure To Be A Hit
Island Fest is back and it's better than ever! Head out to Founders Park on Saturday, March 31, and Sunday, April 1st, for the 21st Annual Florida Keys Island Fest and enjoy the Islamorada Chamber's best event yet! From 10 am to 5 pm daily, artists, musicians, classic cars and much, much more will transform the park into a fun-filled, family destination you won't want to miss!
The Arts & Crafts show will feature the very best of both local and national artists including everything from paintings and sculptures to jewelry and fine crafts. No art festival would be complete without a commemorative festival poster, this year's poster will be available for sale and the artist will be on hand to sign the posters in booth number one.
Returning again this year is the All-American Road Vintage Cruisers Car Show, featuring pre-1975 cars, trucks, motorcycles and rat rods. The show will be on both Saturday and Sunday, and will be visible from US-1, Florida's first and only official "All American Road".
In addition to renowned artists and antique car collectors, an array of talented musicians will also take part in Island Fest, appealing to music lovers of all genres from blues to reggae. "The Florida Keys have always been known as a mecca for the performing arts, and Island Fest is the best place to experience that first hand," says Judy Hull, Executive Director of the Islamorada Chamber of Commerce. "We're really quite lucky to have so many gifted people sharing their talents with us."
We're not done yet! The kids will have a blast at Island Fest, too! They can enjoy flying kites, painting the dolphin statue, building sand castles, hula hoop decorating and contests, and skimming across the water in "Giant Human Hamster Balls." Your taste buds aren't forgotten at this event either! Saturday's culinary event features a tantalizing smoked-fish dip contest, and on Sunday, don't miss the popular "Taste of Islamorada," a delicious competition showcasing the dishes of many local restaurants. And the ever-popular "IslaMarauder" Rum Punch contest will be back again this year, too.
Featuring music, art, food, classic cars and fun, the 21st Annual Florida Keys Island Fest offers something for everyone! Plan to spend Saturday and Sunday, March 31 & April 1, at Founders Park, MM 87 Bayside. Show times are from 10 am to 5 pm both days and admission is free.
