October 19-28 29th Annual Fantasy Fest Key West
"Gnomes, Toads and White Rabbit Tea Parties” is the theme for this outrageous 10-day celebration with a packed schedule of costume competitions, promenades and street fairs, and a grand parade featuring marching groups and lavish floats.
Welcome to Wonderland! Through a looking glass, under a mystical bridge, over an enchanted swamp…however you arrive in Key West for Fantasy Fest 2007 you will be welcomed by all-knowing gnomes, twirling toads and white rabbit tea parties from October 19 – 28, 2007. Open the closet door, look under the bed and turn off your nightlight. Your childhood monsters may look a bit more enticing this time around. Conjure your fantasies or merry myths and pull forth a princess from your childhood dreams or that adventure through sugarplum forests…and where did I put my delightfully dazzling dragon?
