Fantasy Fest, Saturday, October 31, 2009

This may be Fantasy Fest’s favorite daytime event. The Bourbon St. Pub presents the glory-days of Key West’s, “Tea In the Street.” With Duval St. shut down, prepare for flying drag queens, hot male dancers, all in true Bourbon St. fashion.

This evening, up and down Duval Street, glittery floats, marching bands, dancing groups, and costumed folks. As usual for FF, it doesn’t get any wilder. Parade route includes Whitehead, Front and Duval Streets; 7 pm.
