Key West vacation rentals are close to all the action and relaxation that the small island has to offer. Several times during the year the city and the surrounding area play host to exciting festivals. They offer entertainment, celebration and delicious food that only Key West can deliver.
Fantasy Fest
Visitors to Key West during the month of October are sure to be in for an experience like no other. Fantasy Fest is an annual festival that takes place every October and lasts for ten days. The festival is seemingly the birth-child of Halloween and Carnivale. It combines the two exciting holidays into one huge celebration. People from around the world flock to Key West to participate in the outrageous festival which is filled with over-the-top parades, fairs, and parties. People dress in lavish costumes complete with headdresses and masquerade-style masks. The homes and businesses of Key West get in on the action and decorate for the festival. Although Fantasy Fest is typically not seen as an event for children, there are a few day-time activities that occur on Halloween. Kids can enjoy a costume contest, arts and crafts, and games. No matter what age you are, the creativity and diversity of Key West truly shines through during Fantasy Fest.
Pride Fest
Visitors can enjoy the open-minded lifestyle of Key West while at the Pride Fest. It is an annual celebration that occurs during the month of June. The festival celebrates the strides that Key West has taken in the gay and lesbian community. The acceptance and freedom of the city can be celebrated at the Pride Fest. Activities of the festival include parades, parties, town tours, street fairs and even special forums. Admission to the festival and to several of its events help benefit the Key West Business Bureau. The Pride Fest is an event that really shines light on the city's motto, "One Human Family."
Marathon Seafood Festival
Marathon is located about an hour away from Key West and your vacation rental. For two days during the month of March, visitors can experience some of the best fresh seafood in Florida. The festival helps promote the local fishing scene. Seafood available includes everything from lobster tail to shrimp to crab. Although the delicious seafood is the main draw to this festival, there is also live entertainment and tons of activities. There are raffles, games for kids and a boat show. Vendors selling jewelry, clothing, souvenirs and much more are present at the Marathon Seafood Festival. This festival is certainly worth the short break from Key West vacation rentals.
