ℹ️ About This Event

Fantasy Fest is Key West's best-known large-scale themed street festival, filling the island with parades, costumes, live entertainment, and destination-nightlife energy over an extended fall run. Although some events are ticketed and the atmosphere skews adult, it is too large and culturally recognizable to ignore in a broad Florida events set.

Cost
The citywide festival atmosphere is broadly accessible, while specific parties, floats, viewing areas, and premium events may be ticketed.
What to Wear
Festival or costume attire appropriate to warm island weather and long walking distances.
What to Bring
ID, comfortable walking shoes, hydration, and tickets for any specific paid events or viewing areas.
Predicted Attendance110,000 total (40,000 peak day)

Want to Create Your Own Meetup for this Event?

This event is a listing — the concert, festival or activity itself. A meetup is your own smaller plan to go to it with other people: your date, your time, your meeting place. “A few of us are going, come with us.”

You don’t need permission and you don’t take anything over — this event isn’t changed at all. The venue, address and details are copied across, so you only pick when and where to meet.

As its organizer you get real tools to plan the when, where & what:

  • 📅 Member Availability — see which days and times everyone says they're usually free, so you know when to hold it.
  • 🎯 Member Interests & Cities — see everyone's interests and locations, so you know where to meet and what to include.
  • 🗺 Member Map — visually shows where most members are concentrated.
  • 🏷️ Activities & Voting — lists the tags and lets members vote on what they want to do.
  • 💬 Event Chat — everyone can discuss plans, who's bringing what, and last-minute changes.
  • RSVPs — who's coming, how likely, guest counts, and what they're looking forward to.
  • 🔗 Many Ways to Share or Invite — get the word out and grow attendance.

Your meetup starts hidden and set to “Only My Contacts”, with no date, so nothing is announced until you're ready. Nobody is notified when you create it. Once you set a date and switch Go Live? to Yes, it appears for people who marked themselves interested in this event.
