Celebrate Pride the Key West way — tropical, vibrant, and unapologetically free. This year’s theme, “Still Rising,” honors the LGBTQ+ community’s powerful history, resilience, and continued fight for equality. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning friend of the island, Pride in Key West is a celebration like no other.
Fantasy Fest 2025 lights up Key West from October 17–26 with ten days of costumed creativity and wild celebration themed “Bedtime Stories & Magical Monsters.” Signature events include the Goombay Festival, Headdress Ball, Pet Masquerade, and the lively Captain Morgan Masquerade March, all leading up to the spectacular Fantasy Fest Parade on October 25 along Duval Street. With glittering floats, themed parties, live music, and both family-friendly and adult-only events, this unforgettable island tradition draws over 70,000 revelers and showcases the vibrant spirit of Key West.
