Captain Morgan Masquerade March Friday, October 25th, 2024 at 5:30pm
Join the hugely popular Fantasy Fest tradition, known as The Locals’ Parade, highlighting costumes, creativity and community. Strut with us through Old Town with music and noisemakers! Thirst quenchers provided at selected guesthouses.
The Captain Morgan Masquerade March is a moving cocktail & dance party that traditionally begins at Old Town Wine and Spirits on the corner of Truman Avenue and Frances Street.
NEW THIS YEAR, we give you 2 Starting Points to choose from!!!
It's Picture time at our Second Starting Line! Grab your costumed crew and feel like a celebrity with Key West's most infamous paparazzi, photo booths and 360 selfie stations. The Paparazzi Row Pre-Party begins at 4PM in the streets of Island House and Alexander's Guesthouse. Our official Drag Host will help us get this pre-party started with festive libations and sweet dance moves!
This moving mosaic of costumed revelers sashay their wacky costumes on a route that winds its way down Fleming Street stopping at participating guest houses, which – while supplies last – hand out complimentary beverages. Revelers are welcome to join the mad march anywhere along the ONE route! When you have made your way through Old Town to Duval St. don’t worry, the party isn’t over! Keep on partying at Captain Morgan's Official Pirate After Party at Kaya Empourium or ride the wave on over to Hog's Breath Saloon for their Surf's Up Party!
While Fantasy Fest encourages and looks forward to seeing the amazing creativity the March generates, please remember the March travels through local neighborhoods and costumes do need to cover all the essential bits.
And, finally, please leave behind only memories, dispose of trash properly and please recycle.
