Friday Night Fireworks & Free Live Music at Key West is a seasonal event at Key West, over 8 days in July 2026.
When and where
It runs from Friday 24 July 2026 to Friday 31 July 2026, 8 days in all. Listed dates: 24, 31 July 2026.
It is held at Key West, Bournemouth Pier. The map shows where that sits against the rest of the bay.
Tickets and entry
Entry is free. Individual elements inside a free event can still be ticketed, so check before building a day around one of them.
Before you go
Weekends are considerably busier than weekdays, and the last weekend before Christmas is the busiest of all.
What is free, and what is not
Neither the band nor the fireworks cost anything. The bill is whatever you eat and drink, and Friday is the day fish and chips are half price, all day.
Key West sits out along Bournemouth Pier, above the sea. Since the shells go up from the beach immediately east of it, those tables are about as close as a seat gets.
Which Fridays
Live music lands on four of them in 2026: 31 July, 14 August, 21 August and 28 August. The Friday fireworks run on every Friday of the series, so on the other dates you still get the 10pm display, just without a band behind it.
Tables over the water go early on fireworks nights, and earliest of all for the 28 August finale. Booking is through Key West.
What else is on
The events calendar lists every dated event across the bay, and the map shows how the venues sit relative to each other.
