FAQ
Where to stay?
The Marathon Seafood Festival occurs in peak season.
The most reasonably priced accommodations will be in 1950s-era mom-and-pop motels, which dot the Keys, and many retain a lot of Keys character.
Vacation home rentals in Marathon have become extremely popular — and more available — in recent years.

How to get to the festival?
Head South on the Florida Turnpike towards Homestead / Hwy US1. Take the Turnpike until it ends in Florida City and merges with Hwy US1. Keep heading South and count down the big green Mile Markers to #49 in Marathon, FL. If you hit the 7 Mile Bridge (or even Cuba), then you’ve gone too far!
