Fantasy Fest Florida 2023

Live Stream, Webcams, Parade, Events, Schedule

Key West sunset

Fantasy Fest returns to the streets of Key West once again this year, attended live by crowds of thousands, and watched by many more on TV and via the live online stream.

Fantasy Fest is a series of parties and events that brings Key West in the famous Florida Keys to life for a couple of weeks in late October and early November each year. The big main event is the Bud Light Fantasy Fest Parade on Duval Street Promenade on the Saturday, which gets underway at 7pm and lasts until late.

The event dates back to 1979 and has expanded over the years into the current cavalcade of raucous and debauched parties including fancy dress, balls and drag queen competitions and culminating in a parade of floats across the narrow island.

Designating themselves the Conch Republic, the natives of Key West nominate themselves a Conch King and Queen to lead the celebrations and the events are attended by huge crowds of visitors to the area, bringing in total crowds estimated at over 100,000, which is actually larger than the normal population!

Live Streaming, Webcams

The best live coverage of the Fantasy fest comes from a number of live streaming webcams located in key locations around Key West, including on the buzzing Duval Street, on Schooner Wharf, at the Green Parrot Bar and also at Sloppy Joes and Irish Kevin's.

It's worth checking these cameras out late at night during the Fantasy Fest too, there are some sights to behold! See the full range of Fantasy fest webcam views here:

Hotels and Accommodation

Accommodation on Key West is at a premium at the best of times, and when the Fantasy Fest is on it will be sold out for sure, so make sure you reserve your places well in advance.
