Your Events Roundup for the Florida Keys!

One of the best parts of living in the Florida Keys is the vast array of events that seem to fill up the calendar each year. It really inserts a sense of community into what is commonly known as a group of tourist towns. Over my several years of living and working as a Key West real estate agent I have always made it a priority to emphasize the bustling activity surrounding the Keys. People want to move to an area where there are a lot of things to do and where they have an opportunity to interact with their community on a regular basis, and the lifestyle in the Florida Keys definitely provides that.

As we enter the second half of May, (can you believe how time has been flying by this year?), I thought that I’d highlight a few of the more interesting, upcoming events happening in the Florida Keys:

Finito, The Dream is Real-A Comedy, Variety, Burlesque Musical
Running May 16th-June 2nd
The Red Barn Theatre, Key West
If you’re someone who considers a staged, theatrical performance an ideal outing, than this upcoming Key West production is perfect for you. Entering into the depths of TV and movie-land, this roundup of has-beens, icons and legendary songs will have you laughing out loud. Key West Burlesque is known for providing some great entertainment, and this show will be no exception!

Key Largo’s Original Music Festival
May 17th-May 20th
Calling all music lovers! This three day festival showcasing original singers and songwriters in the area will feature live entertainment, unique performances, great food and enjoyable ambiance. Presented by the Upper Keys Business Group, this weekend-long event will be the perfect time for Key Largo locals to see what some of the island has to offer.

Keys 100-Prostate Cancer Benefit Races
May 19th-May 20th
Athletes who train hard and dedicate themselves to a cause as great as this one deserve to be recognized! This fantastic trio of ultra-marathon road races, including an individual 50-mile race, an individual 100-mile race and a 100-mile team relay, give active locals in Key West and Key Largo the opportunity to benefit the Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys. Find some time to cheer for those who are training hard for this super-active event!

Southernmost Car Show and Festival Weekend
May 25th-May 28th, Key West
Presented by the First Class Petty Officer Association Naval Air Station, this annual car show commemorates the birthday of the U.S. Navy. This year, help celebrate 237 years of dedicated service to our country by checking out some fantastic cars and participating in other entertaining festivities throughout the weekend. It’s a great way to ring in Memorial Day weekend, and you’ll get to pay tribute to one of our country’s most important organizations!

Whether you’re an automobile aficionado, an active athlete, or prefer to spend time watching local talent perform, there is something happening this month in the Florida Keys that you will be able to enjoy. As a Key West real estate agent, I take it upon myself to stay in-the-know about local events in order to promote our area as an active and vibrant community. One of the biggest benefits of living in the Florida Keys is the full events calendar, and this month is no exception.
