For much of the week of Independence Day, lime green replaced red, white and blue as the color of choice during Key West’s annual Key Lime Festival.
From June 30 to July 4, the scent of citrus filled the air at events that included a Key Lime Pie Drop from the top of the Key West Lighthouse, lime-infused dinners, a pie-eating contest and plenty of tart cocktails.
Conceived by local author and entrepreneur David Sloan, who wrote Key West’s Key Lime Cookbook, the festival has grown to a five-day festival featuring loads of tasty events.
