Bahama Village Goombay in Key West has become something of a kick off to Fantasy Fest (adults only event).  It has been, for years however, a long-standing celebration of the Bahamian culture in the Conch Republic.  This high-energy street festival takes place just off Key West's legendary Duval Street. Come out for dancing in the street, delicious cultural foods, live music, or shop for African arts and crafts.

Fantasy Fest in Key West is definitely NOT for children.  Think "adult fantasy" and then fill in the blank with your imagination to guess what sort of debauchery is involved.  There are, however a couple of events that occur around the same time or within Fantasy Fest that are family friendly.  Children's Day occurs at the very end of Fantasy Fest and is a fun time for the little ones to dress in costume before the Halloween holiday.
