CubanFest This Weekend!

This weekend, Cubanfest takes place on the island. From Friday to Sunday, the 23rd to 25th, we will celebrate Cuban influence in Key West.

This is the 9th year of the celebration, which was established to preserve Key West’s Cuban history. After Cuba’s war of independence from Spain in 1968, thousands of Cuban emigrants fled to freedom in Key West, causing a population surge on our tiny island. With the Cubans came cigar-making, Cuban bread, Cuban architecture, café con leche, Latin music – and of course - the roosters.

Activities for the celebration include a Coast to Coast Conga Line on Friday, followed by a Latin Dance Party, a Cigar Dinner, fishing tournaments, and food festivals. Visit the web site here for more information.
