Key West Artisan Market “Rock the Red Ribbon” Edition
Honors the Friends of the Key West AIDS Memorial on Sunday, November 30
Key West, FL — The Key West Artisan Market continues its 2025–26 season on Sunday, November 30, from 10 am to 2 pm at Indigenous Park at Higgs Beach with the “Rock the Red Ribbon” Edition, featuring the Friends of the Key West AIDS Memorial. This week’s market brings the community together to honor lives lost, support those affected, and raise awareness ahead of World AIDS Day, which will be observed the following day, December 1, at the AIDS Memorial located directly across the street.
Friends of the Key West AIDS Memorial will be onsite offering free red ribbons, sharing the history and significance of the Memorial and accepting donations. Guests are invited to visit the waterfront monument during the event to reflect and pay tribute to those memorialized there.
At the Artisan Market, visitors can shop a curated outdoor event showcasing fine crafts and art from talented Florida Keys makers, festive food and libations, local authors signing books, and beautiful ocean views. This edition welcomes new vendor, Fish Tales Seafood Market from Marathon, offering fresh local seafood, prime steaks, sausages, fish dip, homemade pies, and a variety of gourmet specialties—an exciting addition for both locals and visitors preparing for holiday meals and gatherings.
The Market continues to grow as one of the island’s premier shopping experiences, featuring handcrafted jewelry, original artwork, home décor, apparel, specialty foods, artisan breads and cheeses, fresh produce, and authentic dishes from the Mediterranean, Mexico, Argentina, Columbia, and the Caribbean. Great Events Catering offers a full-service bar with Bloody Marys, mimosas, beer and wine, or enjoy fresh-brewed coffee, nitrogen infused teas, pressed juices, ice cream or boozy popsicles.
Keys Yacht Rock Station 93.7 will broadcast live from the market throughout the day, sharing island tunes, interviews, and community highlights. This week’s musical entertainment features The Shanty Hounds, performing live on-air and adding their signature island sound to the festivities. Guests can also meet local authors signing books, watch artists at work, and explore the newly remodeled Key West Wildlife Center located onsite at Indigenous Park.
The Key West Artisan Market blends community spirit with local creativity and entrepreneurship, pairing nonprofit partners with a vibrant open-air shopping experience by the sea. 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 purchase a branded bag at the Artisan Market info tent.
