Annually, thousands of visitors come to enjoy Cedar Key's Old Florida Celebration of the Arts in April, the Fourth of July Celebration, the October Seafood Festival, and our newest festival - the Nature Coast Wildlife & Birding Experience held in the fall. Smaller events take place throughout the year including the Cedar Key Star Party, fishing tournaments, boat and kayaking events, nature tours, and community civic and church activities. If you look around, there's always something happening in Cedar Key.
