REEF Fest 2023 is on Oct. 19-22 in Key Largo, Florida, and we hope you can join us! We have plenty of exciting activities planned, including diving, snorkeling, kayaking, ocean seminars, and socials. A highlight of the weekend is the Saturday evening celebration, For the Love of the Sea. The event will take place on the evening of Oct. 21, at a beautiful waterfront location overlooking Florida Bay - the perfect backdrop for those beautiful Key Largo sunsets.

Little Moir's Hibiscus strEATery has put together a delicious menu for the evening, including appetizers like hummus, veggies, and asian-style guacamole with wonton chips, as well as greek salad, spicy melon salad, and cucumber pineapple salad. Dinner stations will be open throughout the evening, serving a variety of entrees including sweet potato crusted avocado, homemade cheesy garlic pasta, coconut panko chicken wraps, and a salsa verde veggie bowl. Local favorite Keys Chocolates and Ice Cream is providing a selection of yummy treats for dessert, along with freshly brewed coffee generously provided by Kaldi's Coffee.

For the Love of the Sea tickets are $95 per person and include appetizers, dinner, desserts, and an open bar with local craft beer from Florida Keys Brewing Company, wine, liquor and a selection of non-alcoholic beverages. There will also be live music and a silent auction featuring marine life artwork and photography, jewelry, vacation packages, and more.
