DIRECTOR’S
WELCOME
TIME TRAVEL UNRAVELS, HURRICANES IMPACT, LEGS BREAK, THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
OR N A
I have been a spectator and a participant in the past 26 Festivals in one way or another, and I’m proud to be a past QUEEN of Fantasy Fest (2003) … yet none of this makes me an expert. Thankfully I have assembled a TEAM… each of them brilliant and talented beyond measure and the perfect complement to the job at hand! We have worked around the clock to bring our vision to the Present Day! Time has truly Unraveled … We have had One Broken Leg, One trip to Paris, One Buy a House, and others Lose their Homes in the storm, we said farewell to a beloved dog, and TWO family members
R
Awarded the title of Director in January 2017, I am now only the 4th person to take on the role since the very First Fantasy Fest in 1979. This year, our 38th Fantasy Fest will be one for the record books … if I do say so myself! My Desire … to bring an Artful Creatively Costumed Key West Vibe to the Festival and inspire, renew and restore participation from Festival Partners old and new … to create a schedule of events beyond the wildest dreams of our Visitors and as unique and wacky as our ‘locals’ would expect it to be … OK I realize I set the BAR really High, but that’s how I roll!

ABOUT FANTASY FEST ® Fantasy Fest is an annual 10-day costumed party in paradise for grown-ups. Started in 1979 by a small group of Key West locals, the party was created to bring visitors to the island in what was a typically quiet, but beautiful season. It worked. Fantasy Fest has grown every year since its inception and is now the wildest extravaganza around! Fun-loving revelers from around the globe bring their creativity and imaginations as they descend upon Key West each year in October for 10 days filled with costuming, parades, libations, and excitement!

CAR FREE KEY WEST
The island of Key West encourages everyone to forget their cars once they get to the Keys. Walk, bike, or bus around town using any of the great options below. Help us make sure everyone arrives safely and happily at their destination this Fantasy Fest!
WALKING
Almost every downtown destination is less than a 15-minute walk from another. Pay attention when crossing intersections, as cars and bicycles might not see you. Especially use caution downtown during the Street Fair, Masquerade March and Bud Light Fantasy Fest Parade.
BICYCLING
Locals know that the best way to get around town is by bicycle. If you don’t already have access to a bike, there are many great bicycle rental stores around the island. Make sure they give you a light to use after dark! When on the road, act like a car. When on a sidewalk, yield to pedestrians. Be a PAL: Predictable, Attentive and Lawful at all times. Pedicabs are also great ways to let someone else do the bicycling for you.

MORE THAN MEMORIES POSTERS
FOR LADY OUTRAGEOUS , the southernmost city was a “serendipitous spin on life’s Wheel of Fortune”. The winner of the poster contest created a one-of-a-kind piece of art for the face of Fantasy Fest 2017: Time Travel Unravels. A painter by trade and by passion, her art incorporates her daily life in more ways the one.
Otherwise known as Sherry White, Lady Outrageous is the widow of the late and great Captain Outrageous. He is famous for “painting Key West” – producing over 30,000 pieces throughout the island. From cars to furniture to musical instruments and more, he added color and character one paint stroke at a time. He led a number of Fantasy Fest parades and has evolved into a Key West icon. Lady Outrageous calls him “a man of great moral spirit, bombastic fortitude, and a legendary liver.” She continues his artwork in true Outrageous style. Her decision to submit artwork for the poster contest was a last-minute urge, one that she normally doesn’t answer. Over the years, she has both loved and avoided Fantasy Fest, but claims this year was magnetic. She began her submission just a few days before the deadline, finding herself in unfamiliar territory. Luckily, a supportive staff and collaborative sense of Island Life urged her on. In just a few hours, the energy, the concept, and the medium inspired her winning artwork for the poster contest. It was also her 65th birthday. Swing by WineO at La Concha Hotel and Spa on Tuesday, October 24 at 5 PM. Purchase an official Fantasy Fest Poster and meet a true Key West Character – the one and only Lady Outrageous. Greet the artist, enjoy a drink, and grow inspired by the artists and ambiance of the Florida Keys. For Lady Outrageous, it’s just “another good day, another great year, and another baptism in Key West serendipity.”

In case of emergency, please call 911 with your location and the emergency vehicles will arrive as quickly as possible.

EACH YEAR, THE BUD LIGHT FANTASY FEST PARADE winds through the world famous Duval Street from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. Lavishly decorated floats and costumed revelers entertain tens of thousands of spectators in the premier Fantasy Fest event. With this year’s “Time Travel Unravels” theme, expect the 2017 Bud Light Fantasy Fest Parade to dazzle and amaze you with creations from the PAST, FUTURE AND PRESENT DAY! The Bud Light Fantasy Fest Parade route begins at the end of time (the end of Southard Street) in a wormhole, travels through the Big Bang Theory and returns in Rip Van Winkle’s dreams. Be prepared for ghosts of Fantasy Fest past, steam punk in present day, and tourists from the future. The parade kicks off at 7 PM on Saturday, October 28th.
WHEELCHAIR ACCESS A special area for wheelchair-accessible viewing of the 2017 Fantasy Fest Parade will be available on Duval Street at Truman Avenue. Accessible parking and port-o-lets will be available near the Gato Building at the corner of Virginia and Simonton Streets.
BARRICADES Barricades will be placed in congested areas along the parade route to keep spectators safe and to allow the parade entrants room to perform. These simple yet vital pieces of equipment can keep revelers from ending up under the wheels of a magnificent float. They’re put up with safety in mind, so please be a good sport when city employees begin setting them in place before the parade. The parade needs extra leeway from the crowd at intersections where the procession makes turns. Please cooperate with parade ambassadors and law enforcement personnel to provide a safe turning radius for the parade vehicles. Please be cautious around the barricades and step out of the way when city workers disassemble them after the parade. It’s a challenging job, at the end of a busy day, so please be appreciative when you see them hard at work.
PARADE AMBASSADORS More than 100 Parade Ambassadors will be stationed along the parade route to help keep the spectators out of harm’s way and from under the wheels of the rolling ➻
festivities. These very special people stay sober on party night to be the responsible shepherds of the Fantasy Fest Parade. You will recognize these noble, fun-loving people by their distinctive T-shirts. They each have undergone extensive training sessions for this very important job and they are in radio contact with the parade director and law enforcement personnel. Please let them know we appreciate them. Smile, thank them, and cooperate with their directions.
IT’S POLITE TO ASK FIRST Please ask permission before snapping photos of other party-goers and practice positive festival etiquette by treating other people’s costumes as works of art. Look and admire, but don’t touch!
STREET CLOSURES
TO ACCOMMODATE THE MANY STREET ACTIVITIES DURING FANTASY FEST, PORTIONS OF SEVERAL STREETS WILL BE CLOSED DURING THE FESTIVITIES AND THE PARADE.

GRAND MARSHAL: US1 RADIO TEAM BY EVELYN JUDGE
As one of the zany Keys inhabitants that made the ultimate decision to stay in our island community and brave Category 4 Hurricane Irma, it is difficult to find the words to describe the emotional, supportive and caring impact of having the US 1 Radio team on the air 24/7 when we had no means of communication with the outside world for days. Cell phone towers tumbled, power, internet and cable lines were felled and water pipes from the mainland were disrupted. Thanks to this persistent, sharing and knowledgeable team of community minded family we had guidance, support and hope for a road to recovery as we gathered around our battery operated radios. I, and the entire keys community, thank you endlessly for your presence, assistance and love. #keysstrong
AL RO B O’ NE
I am extremely proud and humbled to have been given the honor to interview US 1 Radio General Manager, Rick Lopez, on their incredible broadcasting event. Thanks to US 1 Radio, our first responders and the generous and supportive Keys community you are able to indulge in your Fantasy Fest adventures as Time Travel Unravels…peace out!
LEFT TO RIGHT: BOB HOLLADAY / RICK LOPEZ / KIMMY B / RICKY CARTER STEVE MILLER / BILL BECKER / RON SAUNDERS
HOW WAS THE DECISION MADE TO STAY ON THE AIR AND WHO SHOULD STAY? The decision to stay was not hard. It’s our job to be here for the community. I would never ask someone to do something that I would not be willing to do myself or that was uncomfortable and did not want to be here . Only essential personnel would be staying. The news team, myself, the owner of Florida Keys Media, Bob Holladay (who flew in from Louisiana on Thursday before the storm), and an engineer. Outside of the small skeleton staff that stayed, all other employees of Florida Keys Media did evacuate. PLEASE DESCRIBE A FEW HIGHLIGHTS OF BEING ON THE AIR 24/7. The big highlight for me was when I caught the STL link during the middle of the storm, it was so lucky, I just happened to be outside working on something else at the right time. If that piece of equipment had flown away, we would have gone off the air and would have been done. Also the way our station became the life line for the community. It was incredible, the hundreds and hundreds of people who came to the station in those desperate days after the storm as we helped be the guiding light for this entire community. PLEASE SHARE THE STORY ABOUT THE GAS SYPHONING FOR THE GENERATOR? People are amazing. To run the generator we need a special gas called rec 90. I had prepared for the storm with two big drum barrels of rec 90 fuel. We had about 10 hours left of gas when I went on the air and asked if anyone had any rec 90 fuel and could bring it to the station and we would pay for it. The people wanted and needed us to stay on the air. In about an hour people started showing up with cans of rec 90 that they had syphoned out of boats. It was incredible, and nobody would take any money. Then Stock Island Marina Village came up to the station and offered me all the rec 90 I needed, again refusing any kind of payment. So the community kept me gassed up, and kept me on the air. HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE BROUGHT THE KEYS TOGETHER AS ONE COMMUNITY? If we had not been on the air it’s scary to think of what would have happened here. You would have had mass panic and chaos as nobody would have known anything. I take tremendous pride in keeping the Keys together and being that voice of calm and reassurance for this community I love so much in it’s most desperate time. WHAT WAS THE PERSPECTIVE THAT YOU RECEIVED FROM THOSE THAT STAYED? For those who stayed it was about being focused on the task at hand each day. WHO WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO COME IN AND REPORT WHAT WAS HAPPENING? Key West Mayor Craig Cates was the first to come in and report what was happening. HOW DID IT FEEL TO SEND FAMILY AWAY AND STAY TO BROADCAST? Sending my family away was tough. I have 3 kids and two of them are very young. It was emotional when they left on that Friday morning before the storm. But knowing that they were safe and out of harm’s way, that allowed me to focus on the job I had to do and not worry about them. HOW ARE RECOVERY EFFORTS COMING ALONG FOR ALL OF YOU PERSONALLY? For most of the staff the recovery process has been fairly smooth. But like the entire Keys some of us had no damage, some had damage but nothing that can’t be fixed to others who lost everything. We have 3 employees, whose homes got destroyed and lost everything. Two live in Big Pine and one in Marathon. The entire team is working together to take care of each other. We are a very close family at Florida Keys Media. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING THE GRAND MARSHALS OF FANTASY FEST? It’s an incredible honor and humbling for us to be asked to be the Grand Marshals of Fantasy Fest. It’s recognition for what we were able to do for this community and we accept with great pride.
