Hemingway Days

It doesn’t get much more quintessentially Key West than Hemingway Days, the annual celebration of legendary American author Ernest Hemingway. Held each July, Hemingway Days has grown into one of America’s most popular literary festivals. Featuring the world-famous lookalike contest, poetry readings, a fishing tournament, and a street fair, this is like no other festival in Key West—or anywhere else for that matter! The festivities take place from July 23 to 27, 2025.
