Fantasy Fest rolled to a festive start with the Oct. 20 Zombie Bike Ride, featuring several thousand of “the bicycling dead” prowling the island’s Atlantic Ocean shoreline and streets.
Many participants wore “traditional” gory zombie garb paired with scary face and body paint, while others were creatively costumed as everything from evil clowns and pirates to undead brides in tattered gowns.
Standouts included a big-eyed bug that towered high above the crowd, an excursion train carrying “zombie tourists,” a super-sized Frankenstein’s monster and a green-skinned creature pedaling a silver “spaceship.”
The marauding zombies biked down South Roosevelt Boulevard beside the Atlantic and into Key West’s downtown – where the unearthly antics culminated in the ZombieFest After Party at the Coffee Butler Amphitheater at Truman Waterfront Park.
Fantasy Fest continues through Sunday, Oct. 27. See keysweekly.com for the official festival program.
