Celebrate Dad with Island Vibes: Father’s Day Festivities Heat Up the Florida Keys

This Father’s Day, ditch the socks and neckties and give Dad what he really wants: sunshine, seafood, and serious island vibes. From June 11–15, Stock Island takes center stage with the I Love Stock Island Festival, a five-day celebration bursting with food, art, music, and memories just waiting to be made.

Kick things off with a bubbling shrimp boil at Cayo Hueso Brewing, or hop between the island’s best food trucks for a DIY foodie tour. Art lovers can explore vibrant murals and local culture on guided tours, while bourbon lovers and BBQ fanatics can indulge at Matt’s Stock Island Kitchen.

Dads who love the water won’t want to miss the VFW Fishing Tournament or the Father’s Day Dolphin Derby, while athletes can dive into the Swim Around Key West challenge. And for something a little different? Hit the Hot Rods and Dad Bods Car Show for classic rides, live music, and plenty of cold drinks.

From family festivals to waterfront brunches, the Florida Keys are rolling out the tropical red carpet for dads everywhere. So grab your flip-flops and treat the father figure in your life to an island adventure he won’t forget. Paradise is calling!
