Henry Flagler's Welcome Party 2016

Join us to kick off the 2016 Key West Food and Wine Festival at Flagler's Grand Hotel.


On New Year's Eve 1920, Casa Marina, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, opened its doors as Key West's most glamorous destination. Conceived by American railroad tycoon Henry Flagler, the resort was intended to accommodate wealthy customers of Flagler's Overseas Railroad, which spanned from Key West to the Florida mainland.

Enjoy a glass of wine and delicious hors d’oeuvres on the beach during our beautiful sunset. 


Listen to singer-songwriter Rusty Lemmon direct from Memphis, Tennessee.
