1. Convenience: When you book a package, you'll have everything taken care of in one easy transaction. No need to worry about booking your accommodation separately and potentially missing out on your preferred dates or location. By booking a package, you'll have a stress-free experience and can focus on enjoying your festival weekend.
2. Exclusive extras: Our Festival Packages come with added bonuses such as Private Parties/Performances, Live Music Sails around the Key West Harbor, exclusive merchandise packs, F&B discounts at the Package Properties, and MORE! These extras are not available when booking passes and accommodation separately.
3. Lot of choices: By booking a package, you can be assured that you'll have a comfortable place to stay during the festival - no matter what level of wristband you buy. With accommodation options ranging from quaint B&B's and Resorts to Vacation Rentals, you can find the perfect package to suit your needs. You will also be with other Festival Guests - keep the party going before and after the performances!
4. Support: When booking a package, you'll have the support of our dedicated Box Office Concierge team who can assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

ABSOLUTELY! At the time of booking your package, you can choose to add extra nights prior to or after the festival dates - just change your check in and check out date before you check out.
If you want to add extra nights after completing the initial booking, please call our box office at 305.615.3168 and one of our package experts will be able to assist.
PLEASE NOTE: It is not recommended to reserve extra nights directly with the property – they will not have your information until closer to the Event and may not connect the reservations. Extra nights can generally be added 14 to 30 days before the event, depending on availability.
Sharing accommodations will almost always decrease the PER PERSON price, as the price of the accommodation is shared four ways.
