Name the 2023 Fantasy Fest theme and land a Grand Stand seat

It’s time for clever cats and sagacious souls far and wide to put on your thinking caps and submit your Key West Fantasy Fest theme ideas for 2023! The winning theme composer and a guest will find themselves fabulously seated in the 2023 Bud Light Fantasy Fest parade Grand Stand among the parade judges and organizers. (Helpful hint: 2023 marks the 200-year anniversary of establishment of both Monroe County and Key West’s first Naval base, so think Bicentennial!) In the case of duplicate winning submissions, a drawing will determine one winner. Some past year’s Fantasy Fest themes include: “Secrets of the Zodiac Revealed (2001),” “Habitat for Insanity (2010),” and “Time Travel Unravels (2017).” Email submissions to [email protected]; deadline to enter is October 14, 2022. Fantasy Fest is presented in part by the Monroe County Tourist Development Council. For a full calendar of events and schedule updates  visit http://www.fantasyfest.com.
