Imagine wandering through Key West and hearing live music drifting from a waterfront bar. You stop for a drink—and discover the person on stage wrote a song you've heard a hundred times.
That's the magic of the Key West Songwriters Festival.
Held each spring, this five-day celebration brings songwriters, performers and music fans together throughout Key West for something very different from a traditional music festival. Instead of spending your entire trip in front of one giant stage, you can discover performances in intimate theaters, waterfront venues, legendary Key West bars and unexpected spots around the island.
The Key West Garden Club is located at the West Martello Tower, a National Historic site.
The site was originally built as a protector to Fort Taylor, also on Key West but was rendered obsolete before it was completed.
