Vendor Information & Location

Applications for Vendor space for 2025 have been delayed. Please check back February 1st. 

Exhibitors are responsible for their own tables, set-ups for their 10 foot space and breakdown.  Canopies or umbrellas are permitted, but must not extend beyond the table or create a hazard for pedestrians. Merchandise must not extend beyond the outside of the booth.  Electric is not provided, nor is it available on Duval Street.  Exhibitors may bring their own generator as long as it fits within the 10’ x 10’ space.  No loud generators will be permitted.

MOVE IN: All vehicles will travel Southbound only on Duval Street for move-in.  Your booth location will be marked directly on the street. Vendors located in the 100 and 200 blocks of Duval Street designated as “A” or “B” and a number, will enter from Front Street.  Vendors located in the 300 or “C” block of Duval Street, will enter from Caroline Street. Vendors located in "D" and "E" blocks enter from Eaton Street.

SET UP/BREAK DOWN:  

Duval Street will close for Lobsterfest at 10:00 AM. Vendors may not set up before this time. Any setup before the street closure, including unloading items on the sidewalk, will result in a ticket from the Key West Police Department.

Booth breakdown begins at 10:30 PM. Please plan accordingly, as all booths must be completely broken down by 11:45 PM. Failure to comply may result in penalties or disqualification from future events.
