Every October, Key West transforms into one of the most electrifying events on earth — Fantasy Fest. For ten days, the Southernmost City explodes with elaborate costumes, street parades, body art competitions, and legendary parties. And there’s no better base camp than Boyd’s Key West Campground, just minutes from Duval Street and the heart of all the action.

What to Expect at Fantasy Fest

Fantasy Fest is an adults-oriented celebration with events ranging from family-friendly costume contests to late-night Duval Street parties.
