Fantasy Fest Key West 2023

Fantasy Fest is an outrageous 10-day costume and masking celebration for adults features flamboyant masquerade competitions including one for pets, a headdress ball, exuberant promenades, street fairs, and a grand parade that stars marching groups, island-style bands, and lavish floats.

Started in 1979 by Key West Locals, this 10-day parade has turned into one of the best and biggest parties Key West has to offer! Bring your creativity and expect to see it all at Fantasy Fest. Stay up to date on this year's theme and all Fantasy Fest event schedule updates.

October is one of the best times to visit Key West because the weather is beautiful and it's quieter than the spring/summer months. Guests typically book a monthly rental early for October to finish up remote work or relax a few weeks before the Fantasy festivities ramp up. Historic Key West Vacation Rentals is a preferred lodging provider of Key West Fantasy Fest. Plan ahead now - the perfect time to reserve a rental for Fantasy Fest 2022.
