Badges purchased before August 1 will be mailed to the address you provide.

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.
