I have several clients who have asked me about Fantasy Fest here in Key West! If you haven't experienced this unique event, it is just a little different than your traditional Halloween celebration. The very first Fantasy Fest was held in when two local businessmen, Tony Falcone and the late Bill Conkle, organized a party to bring more business to the island during a typically slow season. Job well done, boys! It is said that the number of people that join this festival every year ranges from 25, to 75, The event has escalated to a ten-day celebration that includes balls, a large parade with floats, costume competitions, fundraisers for AIDS and other great causes, body painting, drag queen contests, costume parties, and pet and neighborhood parades for the whole family!

The event lasts 10 days and is a Mardi Gras like event that culminates the last Saturday in October with a wild costumed gala parade up Duval street. While this is a Halloween oriented event with lots of Costumes there is also plenty of body paint and nudity so it's not for the shy or prudish and is clearly an adult oriented festival. Note this is not for shy or prudish as Fantasy Fest is clearly an Adult only event.

Does anyone know if any of the hotels or resorts relax their rules in the hot tub and pool areas We had a great time, as always, but. I absolutely hated how they did
