We are excited to announce the Florida Keys Lionfish Derby & Arts Festival at the REEF Campus, on Sunday, April 26, 2026
Application Deadline March 1, 2026
This years event will be a combination of our annual Lionfish Derby Festival and Arts & Science Festival, with the goal of engaging and educating the community about environmental issues, and showcasing how arts can connect the public to science and conservation.
Non-profits, government agencies, and conservation and environmental-minded artisanal vendors are invited to participate in the festival.
Non-profits and government booths are FREE.
Artisans that wish to sell items at the festival will be required to contribute a $75 fee towards REEF for their booth space upon acceptance. All vendors are also expected to provide an interactive display or activity for festival attendees to enjoy as we strive to make this a family-friendly, educational festival.
Please describe your hands-on activity, display, or demonstration in detail in your application.
There are limited spaces available. Vendor applications will be reviewed by REEF staff for booths that meet the goals of the festival and have the most engaging/ interactive booths. Vendors will be notified of acceptance by March 10, 2026 at which point we will send you confirmation and payment info (if applicable).
If interested, please fill out the application at your earliest convenience. Applications received after the review deadline will only be considered if space is still available.
