Lower Keys’ Spanish Fly Music Festival Set for Feb. 2

RAMROD KEY, Florida Keys — Attendees can rock to music by renowned regional bands and entertainers while benefiting the José Wejebe Memorial Foundation at the Lower Keys’ seventh annual Spanish Fly Music Festival.

The event is set for 1-6 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2, at Boondocks Grille & Draft House at mile marker 27.5 on Ramrod Key.

José Wejebe was a Florida Keys charter captain whose top-rated television fishing show, “Spanish Fly,” inspired a generation of viewers before his untimely death in a 2012 plane crash.

The foundation that bears his name was established to honor Wejebe’s legacy through marine conservation, supporting those facing life-impacting challenges and making fishing dreams come true.

The festival’s entertainment roster features musicians and bands that play a leading role in the Keys’ live music scene including Circa 22, Michelle Dravis, Jesse and Jill, Adrienne Z and Gary Hempsey.

In addition to enjoying nonstop music, festival attendees can bid on a wide range of goods, services and experiential offerings at live and silent auctions. The event’s other attractions include local vendors offering their wares, raffles, miniature golf and a bounce house and face painting for children.
