The Island Hopper Songwriter Fest at Lovers Key State Park is part of one of Southwest Florida’s premier music festivals. Spanning 10 days , the event features more than 60 BMI singer-songwriters performing original music and sharing the stories behind their songs in intimate venues.
The Lovers Key concerts offer a particularly unique experience—acoustic, personal, and set within a stunning natural environment.
Concerts at the park’s gazebo create a peaceful outdoor setting. Guests enjoy live acoustic music while watching the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico, with performances starting around 3:30 PM.
Beyond Lovers Key, the festival takes place across Fort Myers Beach and includes beachside concerts, sunset cruises, and special ticketed events. The mix of relaxed venues and high-quality music makes this festival stand out.
Presented in part by the Americana Community Music Association (ACMA) and Friends of Lovers Key (FOLKS), the event offers an authentic, up-close music experience.
Perfect for music lovers, couples, and visitors looking for a unique and relaxing live music experience.
The festival takes place at multiple venues across Fort Myers Beach, with one of the most scenic settings at Lovers Key State Park.
