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.
CostThe citywide festival atmosphere is broadly accessible, while specific parties, floats, viewing areas, and premium events may be ticketed.
What to WearFestival or costume attire appropriate to warm island weather and long walking distances.
What to BringID, comfortable walking shoes, hydration, and tickets for any specific paid events or viewing areas.
