FEATURED FLAVORS AT THE FEST

The Maine Line

Sarasota gained a major culinary upgrade when Kurt and Brenda moved to the area in 2018. Missing the distinct, savory flavors of his hometown, Kurt launched The Maine Line mobile restaurant in late 2019 to bring a literal taste of Maine to Florida. Today, they hold the title of Sarasota’s multi-year favorite food truck! Catch them at Key Quest Fest serving up authentic northern specialties.

COOL DELICIOUS TREATS

Carousel's Soft Serve Icery

Get ready to experience a condensed tidal wave of flavor! Carousel’s is bringing their famous, family-secret recipe to the Sarasota Key Quest Festival.

This isn't your average frozen treat—it's a unique blend of fruity, frozen ice whipped into an incredibly creamy texture, all without the dairy, fat, or calories of traditional ice cream. Want the best of both worlds? Try their famous Gelati, layering their signature gourmet ice with some of the creamiest vanilla soft-serve you’ve ever tasted. It’s the ultimate way to stay cool at Key Quest Fest!

BREWS FOR YOU   

Cyber Cold Brew

Ready for a total energy reboot? Founded by Dariusz to eliminate the bitter aftertaste and sketchy additives of typical iced coffees, Cyber Cold Brew is bringing the future of caffeine straight to Key Quest Fest.

They serve up an ultra-smooth, low-acid cold brew and nitro brew that’s incredibly easy on the stomach and packed with clean, sustained energy. But the real showstopper is their rig: a futuristic mobile setup built in the spirit of the Cybertruck. It runs entirely on silent, electric battery power—meaning zero noisy generators and zero exhaust fumes messing with the festival vibes.

Look for this sleek, zero-emission deployment and upgrade your day!

HEALTH ACCESS

Illness doesn’t discriminate. A sudden diagnosis, rising costs, or lack of access to care can turn a manageable health issue into a crisis overnight.

Our vision is simple: Prevention should be accessible to everyone. Through mobile outreach, community education, and partnerships with local providers, Check Coast brings health screenings, prevention services, and resources directly into the community—helping people stay well before small concerns become medical emergencies.

HOUSING STABILITY 

Homelessness wears work uniforms. It clocks double shifts. It carries Medicare cards.

Our vision is simple: No one should have to choose between rent and groceries, medication and electricity. Through mobile outreach, housing navigation, and essential services, we’re transforming systems that keep people one check away from crisis.
