C-Key Tiki Fest

Cedar Key,  A Special Island

C-KeyTiki Fest

Three Days of Tropical Rock & Reggae on Florida’s Most Authentic Island

Cold beer. Island legends. Flip-flops required.
Welcome to a grassroots celebration of music bringing Reggae and Tropical Rock music together! Expect three days of live music, cold drinks, barefoot dancing, late-night stories, and that unmistakable feeling that you’ve found your people.

Party With Purpose

This year, your visit means more than ever.

After weathering devastating hurricane damage, Cedar Key is rebuilding stronger than before—but the community needs your support. C-KeyTiki Fest has become one of the island’s most important economic drivers, and every ticket, meal, and stay helps keep this special place alive.

Stages & Surprise Shows

Catch main stages at Pirate’s Cove and Low-Key Hideaway Tiki Bar, plus pop-up performances scattered across the island.

Follow the sound. Trust the vibes.
You never know where the next show will break out.

Why Cedar Key?

This isn’t just another festival location.

Cedar Key is Old Florida at its finest—a Gulf island where time slows down and authenticity still rules. C-KeyTiki Fest didn’t get dropped here.
It grew here.  Now it’s your turn to make memories that last.

Your Tribe Awaits

You’ll meet people who love live music, tiki culture, Jimmy Buffett, and real coastal vibes. First-timers become regulars fast, and strangers quickly feel like old friends.

Once you come, you’re family.
