Fantasy Fest is an unmissable annual Key West tradition! This year's celebration is extra special, as it is the 200-year anniversary of Monroe County’s establishment and Key West’s first Naval base. The theme will (appropriately) be “Uniforms & Unicorns—200 Years of Sailing into Fantasy.”
From October 20-29, 2023, Fantasy Fest gives grown ups a chance to indulge in wild, wacky fun. Everyone dons costumes and comes together for parades, libations, and other outrageous events! You can enjoy art displays, body painting, karaoke, rock shows, dance parties, pool parties, happy hours- and that's just the tip of the iceberg! There are so many parties- the fun is nonstop!
