Conch Revival Picnic

The Key West Art & Historical Society, Great Events Catering, and Unity Table at Williams Hall are proud to present the 10th annual Conch Revival Picnic—a beloved heritage dinner honoring the island’s rich culinary traditions. Join us on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. in Clinton Place, set beside the beautiful Key West Museum of Art & History.

This year’s picnic-style feast will be crafted by renowned chefs Martha Hubbard and Dave Fuhrman, offering a flavorful tribute to Key West’s Bahamian and Cuban roots through historic recipes, lively music, and a warm community spirit. The event also celebrates the launch of the Smithsonian’s FOOD exhibition, opening at the museum in February 2026.

Originally inspired by the late Dianne Zolotow, a dedicated board member of The Society, the Conch Revival Picnic was created to preserve and showcase the traditional dishes passed down through generations of Conch families. Many featured recipes are drawn from the postwar Key West Woman’s Club Cookbook and other rare publications in the Society’s archives—recipes that are fast fading from local memory and dinner tables.

Come hungry, come curious, and help keep the flavors of Key West alive.
