The Event Badge is a collectible credential worn around town during the weekend, creating an instant sense of camaraderie as festival friends recognize each other across the island. Throughout the festival, badge holders collect stickers at various events and gatherings, gradually turning their badge into a colorful record of the places they’ve been and the friends they’ve met along the way.

Please note: Badges are NOT tickets to the festival—the Second Line Parade and many festival events are free to attend. However, your support unlocks exclusive perks, including access to reserved areas, special offers from sponsors and local businesses, and—if you can’t make it to Key West—virtual access to select events so you can still be part of the celebration from anywhere.

Exclusive Benefits for Badge Holders
  • Event Badges support the festival’s charitable mission, with proceeds benefiting the Bahama Village Music Program, Reef Relief, and the Key West High School Scholarship Program.

  • Reserved viewing area at the Sunday Party in the Park concert featuring Howard Livingston, Will Kimbrough, and Mac McAnally

  • First notification when new festival events are announced and tickets become available

  • Early entry to both Sunset Pier concerts — The Wheeland Brothers on Saturday and Cayman and the Mango Men on Monday

  • Early access to join the Second Line Memorial Parade lineup

  • Access to badge-holder livestream links for select festival performances and programming

  • Special offers from sponsors and local Key West businesses via the QR code on your badge

 

[clicking the link will take you to the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys website to complete your tax-deductible purchase. All badge proceeds go directly to our three charities.]
