The 2024 Bubba Awards were announced and handed out to the winners during a sold-out show at the Key West Theater on Saturday, July 20, hosted by Keys Weekly publishers Jason Koler and Britt Myers, after a preshow hosted by Kirby Myers, who greeted nominees and guests as they arrived.

Nearly 100 Key West businesses, community notables and creatives were honored, after online voters determined who earned the title of “Best.”

This year’s Bubbas benefited Wesley House Family Services,a nationally accredited not-for-profit organization dedicated to protecting and nurturing children and strengthening families.
