Last Monthly Artisan Market of the Season Celebrates our Conch Heritage
The Key West Artisan Market Conch Republic Days Edition will be held Sunday, April 27th from 10 am to 2 pm at the Restaurant Store parking lot to help celebrate all things Key West. This will be the last monthly Market of the season.
The event gives residents and visitors alike a chance to shop fresh and local. The parking lot at 1111 Eaton is transformed into a showcase of art, photography and unique local handicrafts made exclusively in the Keys in one convenient location. There will be entertainment, demonstrations, sampling and kid’s activities including information about Reef Relief’s Coral Camp.
Guests will be able to taste and buy local specialties including fresh Cole’s Peace bakery items, farmer’s market fruits and vegetables, shrimp, smoked meats, cheeses, wine, honey, salt and spices, olive oil, honey, bacon jam and other culinary delights.
Concessions, wine and a broad craft beer selection will be onsite. At least four brews from Old Island Brewing, located within the Restaurant Store, will be featured as well as wines from Transatlantic.
