Fantasty Fest Key West

Fantasy Festival and Halloween

Key West Fantasty Fest is one of the biggest parties of the year. Halloween is turned on it's ear & into a Mardi Gras style parade complete with, sexy costumes, body paint, & bizarre floats loaded with revelers tossing beads to those they please. The 2007 theme is: Gnomes, Toads & White Rabbit Tea Parties.

Reduced in number due to rescheduling, Key West Fantasy Fest partiers enjoy the Duval Street Fair in front of Sloppy Joes on Duval Street on Friday.

Adult costumes, body painting, & Key West Fantasy Fest costuming, is on wide display as many roam the crowds in titillating costumes or even bare-chested, some appearing as wide eyed lions (or maybe manatees).

It's part party, part bawdy, and if you choose, can be an erotic fest in Key West.

Beautiful weather for Fantasy Fest 2005 as people stroll Duval Street Friday. Don't you wish you were here?

Thoughout Fantasy Fest week, there are a wide variety of activities. Some of our favorites include the Headdress Ball, the Pet Masquerade, and the Hog's Breath Homemade Bikini contest. All of these events are packed and are a lot of fun.

The Friday Duval Street Fair closes the main artery to traffic, giving you a good opportunity to see many of the outlandish costumes. If you blush easily, prepare for redness.

Saturday night is the big parade. Absolutely, totally, 100% packed. Don't plan on meeting your friend on the other end of the street. Not a chance. Here is a good tip: find a good perch, preferably with a good steady stream of drinks, and enjoy the madness. Stay put and catch some beads!

2007 Update: For prime viewing, attend the Parade Viewing Party on the front porch of the Oldest House and Garden located at 322 Duval Street. Cost is $75.00 per person and includes full open bar and light snacks. 6pm until one hour after the parade. Reservations are required, space is limited. All procedes go toward their grant fund. Call 305-294-9501 for more info.

Many Key Westers and visitors are doing the same thing...running, hiding, & escaping. As the saying goes, we seceded where others failed. America's only Caribbean island is home to free spirit, stunning scenery, and a live and let live attitude.
