Key Largo Accommodations Welcome Big Events for May

KEY LARGO, FL--(Marketwire - Mar 20, 2013) - From a film festival to a fundraising marathon, Key Largo has a lot on the calendar for May, and this Dolphins Cove hotel is the best location from which to experience it all.

Key Largo accommodations welcome film fans, stars and more to the inaugural Bogart Film Festival May 2^nd through the 5^th. Created by Stephen Bogart, the only son of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, the festival is a must for fans of both the movie star couple and classic cinema.

Hosting the festival in Key Largo isn't a coincidence; the town starred in the 1948 Bogart-Bacall thriller Key Largo. The first-annual festival will focus on film noir, screening works of Bogart as well as classic noirs from the 1940s to the present. Of course it wouldn't be a Bogart film festival without showing Casablanca and The African Queen. For a full list of screenings, many of which will take place outside under the stars, visit http://bogartfilmfestival.com/.

Later in the month, May 17^th through the 18^th, this hotel near John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park will host supporters and runners of the 6^th annual Keys100. The marathon starts in Key Largo and travels to Key West, all in support of the Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys. Individual runners will compete in 50- and 100-mile races, while six-runner teams will compete in a 100-mile relay race. Last year drew more than 900 participants, and this year expects to exceed 1,200. For details on the race, visit www.keys100.com/.
