Vendor Events in Key West, FL

A fine art and fine craft show in its 62nd year. Highly anticipated each February by locals, visitors and winter residents of the Keys. Emphasis on unique, high quality, original work for this juried art festival. It is on the water in the beautiful Truman Waterfront Park in old town Key West. Anchored by food trucks at either end of the Quay.

Held on May 10th, 2026, this pop-up artisan market brings together independent makers and creators in the vibrant Key West community. As a one-time event, it offers a concentrated moment for local artisans to showcase their work and connect with shoppers looking for handmade goods with character and originality. Pop-up markets like this tend to draw a curated mix of vendors rather than the broader range you might find at an ongoing farmers market, making for a more focused shopping experience where quality and craft are front and center. The Key West May Artisan Market draws the kind of crowd that appreciates locally made items and supports independent creators. May in Key West brings pleasant weather and tourist season activity, so you can expect a blend of locals, seasonal visitors, and travelers looking for unique souvenirs and gifts. The mixed vendor focus means shoppers browse everything from handcrafted jewelry and home decor to art, ceramics, textiles, and other artisan goods. This diversity appeals to a wide audience and creates natural cross-shopping opportunities throughout the event. For vendors, a pop-up like this provides focused foot traffic on a single day without the recurring commitment of a regular market. The Key West location offers access to both the residential community and the steady flow of visitors to the area. Since this is a one-time event rather than an ongoing market, it's a distinct opportunity to test the Key West market, build connections with fellow makers, and reach customers who are specifically seeking out artisan-made items. Whether you create art, jewelry, home goods, or other handmade products, this May event gives you a platform to share your work with an engaged audience in one of Florida's most distinctive communities.
