The Key West Songwriters Festival is one of the largest songwriting events in the world. Every May, for 27 years, music fans, performers and Key West locals have gathered together to enjoy music at many of Key West’s most popular beaches, bars, boats, resorts, and historic theaters. The festival features five full days and nights of live music, with over 175 performers and more than 50 shows. Unique to this event, festival goers are introduced to the faces, voices, and stories behind the songs!
