Kilts in the Keys

Sunday, September 27, 2026, from 5 to 7 p.m. Break out your kilt and flip-flops for Kilts in the Keys, a lively celebration of Celtic culture at Dockside at Boot Key Harbor in Marathon.

Presented by the Florida Keys Celtic Festival, this annual gathering brings a little bit of the Highlands to the islands with live music from The Skallywagz, along with food, drinks, and plenty of Celtic spirit in a relaxed waterfront setting.

More than just a party, Kilts in the Keys supports a meaningful local cause. Proceeds from the Florida Keys Celtic Festival benefit The Hammock House at St. Columba Episcopal Church, which provides free after-school care and summer and school-break programs for children in the Middle Keys.

Set along Boot Key Harbor, the event offers an easygoing way to enjoy live music, connect with the community, and celebrate Celtic traditions with a distinctly Florida Keys twist.

Grab your kilt, gather your friends, and head to Dockside for an evening where the Highlands meet the islands in Marathon.
