基基韋斯特有很多值得喜愛的地方——從全年的天氣開始！這個美國最南端每年有 259 個晴天或部分晴天，夏季平均高溫為 89 度，冬季平均高溫為 76 度。

Then there’s the famous “Margaritavilla” vibe and live-and-let-live attitude. Although Key West is small (spanning about 7 square miles), “it sure knows how to party in a big way,” says the Travel Channel. And tourists and locals alike can experience some unconventional fun with a visit to one of the area’s many annual festivals.

基韋斯特的熱門年度節日

從 Fantasy Fest開始，這是“一年一度的為期 10 天的成年人天堂派對，” FantasyFest.com 說。 1979 年由基韋斯特當地人發起的活動已發展成為每年 10 月為期 10 天的充滿樂趣的活動，每年吸引約 75,000 人。活動包括皇家加冕舞會、街頭集市和寵物化裝舞會服裝比賽。

Goombay Festival 獨立存在，但標誌著 Fantasy Fest 的開始。這是一個為期兩天的家庭友好型街頭派對。從現場音樂和美食來看，這個節日是“對基韋斯特和巴哈馬之間文化聯繫的熱烈慶祝，”佛羅里達群島旅遊 網站說。這已成為基韋斯特居民以及來自美國各地和國際遊客的當地傳統。 準備好沉迷 於民族美食，在街上跳舞，伴隨著卡呂普索般的現場音樂。

鑰匙中的節日及其他

The Key West “Bight” Before Christmas starts late November and goes through New Year’s Eve and takes place at the Key West Historic Seaport and Key West Bight Marina. It’s basically six weeks of celebrating throughout the holidays. It starts with the lighting of the Harbor Walk of Lights. Events include a holiday parade with floats and a visit by Santa himself, a tree-trimming party, lighted boat parade, tour of historic inns, and a holiday music concert, according to the Travel Channel.

If you like key lime pie, then head over to the Key Lime Festival: America’s Favorite Citrus Celebration in the nearby “Key” islands. “Much like the Keys, the Key Lime Festival is eccentric,” says Outcoast.com. “It doesn’t just showcase the ways in which you can enjoy the fruit; it also highlights the unique culture of the area.” You’ll get to enjoy five days of culinary events, so mark it in your calendar now.

The Hemingway Days Festival is where you’ll see bearded Ernest Hemingway lookalikes, as well as fans of the writer’s works and life. The festival highlight is the Hemingway Lookalike Contest, which takes place at Sloppy Joe’s bar on Duval Street, an old haunt frequented by the writer when he lived in Key West in the 1930s. There’s also a short story competition. And if there’s still time, be sure to visit The Hemingway Home and Museum, where fans can explore the writer’s history in his former home.
