Why a holiday planner for one island
Key West’s December is spread across a dozen organisers. A boat parade is run by one group, an inn tour by another, the museums keep their own holiday hours, and New Year’s Eve is a different event at every bar on Duval Street. Most of those dates are posted late, in different places, and some never repeat the same weekend twice. This planner puts them in one calendar, says which ones are confirmed for this year, and says plainly which ones are not posted yet.
Who owns it
The site belongs to LPE Realty LLC, a Florida real estate corporation licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (license CQ1075686). LPE Realty LLC also runs other independent guides to South Florida places, and each one is disclosed the same way. The brokerage pays for the research and the hosting; in return its contact details sit at the foot of each page for readers who start wondering what owning a place on the island would involve.
We do not speak for the City of Key West, Monroe County, the Florida Keys tourism council or any parade, tour or museum. When a page tells you a date or a price, it links to whoever set it.
Our checking rules
- A date is called confirmed only when the organiser’s own page shows this year’s date. Last year’s date is labelled as last year’s.
- Each fact carries its source and the day we read it. When two sources disagree, the page says so and names both.
- Map distances in the tools are straight lines between coordinates, never drive or walk times.
- No invented crowd sizes, prices, ratings or reviews. If nobody publishes it, we leave it out.
- Photographs are real places, credited with their licences on the credits page; the home page film is cut from them.
Drafting with AI
We use AI tools to help draft pages. A person then checks every fact against its source before anything goes live, and posts carry the byline Christmas in Key West Editorial Team rather than a made-up name.
Money and sponsorship
Nobody pays to appear in this planner, and it shows no property listings. If we ever carry a local sponsor, the placement will be labelled. Questions go through the contact page.
