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.

Join the folks in Jupiter for an All-American 4th of July Celebration at the Abacoa Town Center and Roger Dean Baseball Stadium.  There will be something for the entire family with kid's activities for the little ones and an American-Made Classic Car Show.  There will be live tribute bands performing and lots of delicious foods to enjoy.  This is the "can't miss" event of the summer for North Palm Beach!  

Kids Fest at Roger Dean Baseball Stadium in Jupiter will be a fun-filled day for the entire family.  Tickets to the event includes Kids Fest activities as well as a seat to see the Jupiter Hammerheads play he Bradenton Marauders at 6:35pm. Arrive at 2pm and enjoy zoo animals, bounce houses, relay races, great food, balloon artists, live music and so much more!  The stadium fields, concourse and plazas will all be the venue for the events.

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.
