  March is usually the busiest month of the year, with spring-break families on top of the winter crowd; hotels run close to full, rates and airfares peak, and Duval Street is loud late. Book well ahead or come in May. Fonte ↗

  Five days around Hemingway's birthday: a look-alike contest at Sloppy Joe's that men enter for a decade before winning, a marlin tournament and a running of the bulls on wheels. Fonte ↗

  The last consecutive Wednesday and Thursday of July, when recreational divers get two days on the spiny lobster before the commercial season opens. Every boat in the Keys is out and the reefs are genuinely crowded. Fonte ↗

  Christmas and New Year
