Key West, FL — The Key West Artisan Market kicks off the new year on Sunday, January 11, from 10 am to 2 pm at Indigenous Park at Higgs Beach with the Building Hope Edition, featuring Habitat for Humanity of Key West and the Lower Florida Keys. This first market of 2026 invites locals and visitors to start the year by shopping local, supporting small businesses, and investing in a stronger, more connected community.
At the Artisan Market, guests are invited to experience a thoughtfully designed open-air showcase featuring fine crafts and art by accomplished Florida Keys makers, elevated food and libations, local authors signing books, and sweeping ocean views. The market offers an inspired mix of handcrafted jewelry, original artwork spanning acrylics, watercolor, papercuts, ceramics, and turned wood, bespoke home décor, carefully selected apparel & textiles, artisan breads and cheeses, fresh seasonal produce, local seafood and premium butcher selections, slow-smoked barbecue, indulgent desserts, and authentic global flavors from the Mediterranean, France, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and the Caribbean. Great Events Catering offers a full-service bar featuring handcrafted, next-level Bloody Marys and mimosas, while guests may also enjoy fresh-brewed coffee, nitrogen-infused teas, pressed fruit juices, artisanal ice cream, and tropically flavored boozy popsicles.
This edition spotlights Habitat for Humanity of Key West and the Lower Florida Keys, an organization dedicated to building safe, affordable housing and strengthening neighborhoods throughout the Keys. Representatives will be onsite offering the opportunity to enter two exciting raffles while sharing information about local builds, volunteer opportunities, and how community involvement helps families achieve stability and independence. By shopping local at this market, guests are directly contributing to efforts that quite literally build hope close to home.
Keys Yacht Rock Station 93.7 will broadcast live from the market throughout the day, sharing island tunes, interviews, and community highlights. Guests can meet local authors signing books, watch artists at work, and explore the newly remodeled Key West Wildlife Center located onsite at Indigenous Park.

Each edition supports a different charitable organization working to strengthen the island community. Admission and parking are free, and guests are encouraged to BYOB — bring your own shopping bags or pick up a branded bag at the Artisan Market info tent.
