47th Annual Old Florida Celebration of the Arts
Formerly known as the Cedar Key Arts Festival, the Fine arts festival was moved to April 28 and 29, 2012! Read more about it at the festival website.
 
27th Annual Cedar Key Small Boat Meet
The 27th Cedar Key small boat meet will be Saturday and Sunday, May 5 and 6, 2012. It is completely informal. Tides and weather are still the only organization. There are no planned events, signups, or fees.

All shallow draft boats are welcome: canoes & kayaks, catboats & catamarans; trimarans, rowboats & sailing dinghies; scows, sharpies & sampans; punts, pirogues, prams---& pirates' yawlboats.

Over the last 25 years, weather has usually been mostly sunny, mid to upper 80s in the day, water temperature upper 70s. If it blows, even at lower tides, it's splendid for rowers & paddlers. For sailing canoes Cedar Key is sublime.
