Travel - Fantasy Fest, Key West

Thousands of costumed revelers are to parade through Key West's historic Old Town Friday, Oct. 28, during an offbeat Masquerade March that begins at the local cemetery.

The march is a highlight of the island’s annual Fantasy Fest celebration, a lavish pre-Halloween masking and costuming festival scheduled Oct. 21-30. Themed "Political Voodoo and Ballot-Box Barbarians" in an offbeat salute to the upcoming U.S. presidential election, Fantasy Fest offers a 10-day roster of more than 40 elaborate events.
