Fantasy Fest Grand Parade
Fantasy Fest always ends on the last Saturday of October and it ends with a huge festive parade. In spite of the hurricane and in-spite of the threatening weather Saturday night there were over 50 entrants to the final Fantasy Fest Parade. Having seen 18 of these over the years I must say it was one of the better ones.

"Fantasy Fest Friday" --- The Masquerade March
Clearly the best event of Fantasy Fest is the Friday Masquerade March, aka the Locals Parade. Starting at the Key West Cemetery near our house several thousand costumed marchers gather for a walking parade to downtown. If you want to see creativity and some wild and crazy costumes this is the event to see or better yet participate in. A highlight is always the group costumes which vary from current events, Florida Keys issues, the Fantasy Fest theme or whatever the locals come up with. If you visit Fantasy Fest the Masquerade March and the Zombie Bike Ride are two must see and must participate events. As the Parade winds it’s way to Duval Street passing by decorated houses and Inns there are plenty of stops set up to grab a shot, some beer, special punch or this year even shots of Hurricane Beefaroni. Beyond the Parade there are plenty of theme oriented parties such as Bowties & Birthday Suits, Southernmost Beach Jam, Annual Pirate Bash, The Den of Desire, Glitter & Glow Party and Pimpin Ain’t Easy party to name a few.

"Fantasy Fest Thursday"
The main event today was the 35th Annual gala Headdress Ball, this year held at the spanking brand new Key West Amphitheater along the Truman waterfront. Presented by the Key West Business Guild as the premiere gay and lesbian event of Fantasy Fest. While these homemade custom costumes are truly amazing the panel of judges base their votes only on the Headdress creativity and design as the candidates compete for the $3,000 first prize. In spite of Irma the show went on in its usual festive fashion.
