Key West Bight Before Christmas


Experience 6 weeks of Holiday fun along the Key West Historic Seaport, the old
"Key West Bight" Marina. The 2011 Harbor Walk of Lights brings the natural beauty
of the Key West waterfront alive with the sparkle of holiday lights. The Key West Harbor Walk of Lights stretches for four blocks and features colorful lights, garlands and the Southernmost Christmas Tree. There is also creative nautical holiday displays that can only be
found in a place like the Key West waterfront. Enjoy the holiday lights while you shop in the fabulous shops along the harbor. And when you need a break, stop in the Schooner Wharf for a cold one, and then continue your shopping. Its a fabulous way to ring in the holiday spirit and you are bound to find some unique and eclectic Key West gifts for that special someone. If you are visiting us in November make sure to catch the 'lighting of the harbor walk' on Wednesday Nov 23, right after dusk.

It Takes Two: Opening Night Waterfront Playhous


Another sure sign that our winter season is upon us, is the start up of the theatre season! This year Waterfont Playhouse will kick off their award-winning 72nd Season with “It Takes Two – An Evening of Duets”- a two night concert that will star over 25 of Key West’s best performers. The evening will feature hits from the world of Broadway, pop, standards and even disco, all done as duets. It’s an evening chock full of talent, entertainment and double the fun! There is nothing like theater in Key West. The small playhouse is in an old waterfront ice house and some claim it is haunted, with a gentle and theater loving ghost of course!
