Key West event calendars

Key West is a small town of about 23,000 souls with a lot going on.  There are a host of fun events every week and a challenge to take them all in.  I've compiled a list of various event calendars.  Review them all and find things of interest to you.  For those looking for fun ways to interact with locals, consider attending a local fundraiser.  These are held at numerous locations around town and help organizations like the SPCA, Cancer Foundation, Volunteers for Literacy and many more.  Frequently they offer raffles and prizes.  A great opportunity to shop for gifts, souvenirs and do good at the same time.  You're also sure to meet friendly locals more than willing to suggest their favorite places and maybe you'll make new friends?

Key West Chamber of Commerce Events Calendar  Includes many events, especially those hosted by members of the Key West Chamber.

Silver Palms Inn Events Calendar  A well designed community calendar covering all of Key West.  The Silver Palms Inn is also a great choice if you're looking for a Key West value hotel at a great price.

Nurse Ginger's Key West Event Calendar  This one tends to include many of the island's fundraisers.

Key West SPCA  The local "Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals" needs funds to build a hurricane resistant shelter and frequently hosts and partners with local events to raise funds.
