Key West Fantasy Fest
It’s a fine time to be in sunny Florida if the weather’s chillin’ down where you are, and it’s an especially craaazy time to be in Key West : semi-lunatics and mere eccentrics, students on extremely extended breaks and sailors on sorta-permanent shore leave, straights and not, and your basic pure partiers (worth noting that all of these folk are merely among Key West’s average citizenry) are welcoming 70,000 visitors looking for the ultimate thing through October 31 — Key West Fantasy Fest . Fantasy Fest has evolved from a fairly small-but-sensational weekend event to the too-too whackiness going on this minute in Key West — ten days of almost anything goes (per usual for Key West, but times ten, ten times) including a final, fabulous parade on Saturday, when the wheels really come off and one can see some things and think some thoughts.

Get on down there if you’ve nothing planned for the weekend (or if what you’ve got planned isn’t quite this… insane). If you go, bring your most fantastical costume idea ever, and do plan to Read more… Key West Fantasy Fest originally appeared on About.com Student Travel on Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 at 23:59:48.
