Subtropical Florida is the site of one of the most bizarre festivals in the US, with lots of naked body, bright costumes and body art. The beginning was made in 1979 when two businessmen decided to revive the local tourist industry of Key West and organized a series of costumed parties, parades and other fun outdoor activities.

This celebration of life took place in the last week of October and lasted ten days. Ever since, the Fantasy Festival has become a tradition. If you try to somehow determine the main theme, a red thread passing through the whole festival, then after an exceptional effort you can come to the conclusion - it does not exist.

What can be common in costumes in the style of "Dungeon Dragons", the first fantasy desktop role-playing game in world, a self-made bikini contest and a Scottish-style party? A ball of monsters with people dressed in the costumes of giant snakes, mermaids and other strange creatures, recalls our subconscious, the dark depths of which hide all this splendor. Usually the festival opens in a Caribbean style.
