Fantasy Fest

Created back in the 1970s by the late Frank Romano, Key Wests Fantasy Fest is the citys biggest tourism event all year. This years theme, Aquatic Afrolic, sees ten straight (well, not that straight!) days of fun with an Under the Sea spin. Highlights include the Royal Coronation Ball (a benefit for AIDS Help), the Inaugural Blue Party at the Sheraton Suites, a pet masquerade party, and of course the famed Fantasy Fest Parade down Duval Street on Saturday, October 29. Go West, young men!
