Festival/Carnival
Fantasy Fest is a 10 day colorful and creative celebration that culminates with the Fantasy Market & Street Fair! Friday October 24 and Saturday October 25. The food vendors take over the 100, 200 and 300 blocks of the famous Duval Street on Friday, and Saturday food vendors move to the busy side streets for the Fantasy Fest Parade.
Duval Street is the central hub of activity in Key West, Home to famous bars and restaurants, it serves as the entertainment corridor for the island. During Fantasy Fest, Duval, Whitehead and Simonton Streets become a Costume Promenade, closed to traffic and open to the flow of 10s of 1,000s of visitors who come to Key West for the festival. Friday and Saturday nights are the peak nights of the 10 day festival. Food Vendors must adhere to the fire and code compliance requirements.
We are excited to bring the Street Fair back after a 5 year hiatus. Food vendors are spaced according to booth sizes and menus. Pricing is premium for corner spots. Vendors may select their top 3 spots and will notified mid- September of their placement.
