Info
Fantasy Fest takes place from the 20th to 29th October 2023.
Fantasy Fest is the biggest gay event in Key West, taking place annually in October – we are not kidding when we say Fantasy Fest street festival rivals New Orleans Mardi Gras and Mardi Gras in Sydney in terms of debauchery and pleasure. A ten-day extravaganza that includes a parade, balls, costume competitions + parties, AIDS fundraisers, drag queen contests, body painting, pet parades and plenty of alcohol. The Headdress Ball is the ultimate gay event of the annual Fantasyfest and is absolutely not to be missed.

Join the hugely popular Fantasy Fest tradition, known as the locals’ parade, highlighting costumes, creativity and community.
The Captain Morgan Masquerade March is a grown-up moving cocktail & dance party that begins at Truman Avenue and Frances Street. This moving mosaic of costumed revellers strut their wacky costumes on a route that winds its way north to Fleming Street, stopping at participating guest houses, which – while supplies last – hand out complimentary beverages. When you have made your way through Old Town to Duval St. don’t worry, the party isn’t over! Keep on partying at The Green Parrot after March party, where you will listen to the sounds of Experimento; 601 Whitehead St.
