Father's Day is almost here! Looking for the perfect way to celebrate Dad? Bring him to the Florida Keys! Here are a few of the ways that you can enjoy Father's Day around the Keys. 

Father's Day Weekend Events

Father's Day Dolphin Derby: The 37th annual Father's Day Dolphin Derby will take place June 16-17, 2023 in Marathon. If Dad's a fisherman, then he'll love this chance to reel in dolphin (aka mahi mahi) competitively! Four anglers will win cash prizes. 

VFW Fishing Tournament: The 11th annual VFW Fishing Tournament will take place June 16-18, 2023 in Key West. This family-oriented event offers cash prizes for the heaviest fish from five different species. Anglers can also win cash prizes in seven different categories. 

Hops for Pops: On June 18, 2023, Islamorada Brewing and Pelican Cove are teaming up to offer Hops for Pops. When you purchase a bucket of eco-bio balls for the beach driving range, you'll get a free beer tasting. It's perfect for Fathers Day! 

Other Activities 

Fishing: The Florida Keys has great fishing year-round. You don't have to compete in a tournament to enjoy it! Hire a fishing guide or bring your fly rod to a riverbank and see what you find. Alternatively, you could try deep sea fishing.

Relax on the Beach: Take Dad to one of the Keys' beautiful beaches for a day of fun in the sun. The whole family will love spending time by the water! 

Golfing: Whether Dad likes tackling sprawling golf courses or playing mini golf with the family, there's a place for him to tee off in the Keys! 

Visit a Museum: The Keys have many small, locally-focused museums that are perfect for families looking to learn about the history, animals, or other interesting aspects of the Keys.
