25th Annual Schooner Wharf Open Air Art & Music Affair returns on March 1, 2025 at Key West's Historic Seaport. This dynamic Key West Art Festival offers a colorful waterfront setting featuring award-winning local and national artists displaying unique artworks—from vibrant oil paintings and intricate murals to decorative window art and wood carvings. Art enthusiasts can watch live demonstrations such as glass bead blowing, jewelry making, and "en plein air" painting, providing a rare glimpse into creative techniques.
The event unfolds from 9:30 PM to midnight, set against the charm of traditional tall ships and the breezy ambiance of the boardwalk. The festive atmosphere is further enhanced by live music beginning at 10 AM, with performances by Gary Hemsey, Nick Brownell & Friends, and the headlining act of Marjory Lee with her band. Attendees are invited to mingle with the artists, purchase one-of-a-kind pieces, and savor signature cocktails—all while celebrating the distinctive culture of Key West in an open-air setting.
