Food & beverage available on site. Once upon a time, many years ago (about 40 or so) a big hotel and a little radio station decided to create an event that would include their pets and an excuse to dress up in costume. Since it was so new, they set it up in the hotel parking lot and had the owners parade their animals around it before the contest began. As the years went by, the categories, the entries and the attending crowd grew too large for the little parking lot and even the hotel grounds , so the parade and radio station became a thing of the past........
Cheers to Nancy D'amato & Lower Keys Friends of Animals for Founding and producing this beloved legacy event as a part of our Fantasy Fest Celebrations! Now on the Wednesday of Fantasy Fest week, the beautiful grounds of the Key West Truman Waterfront Amphitheater comes alive as animals and their owners join together to strut their stuff for a worthy cause! In 2024 Florida Keys Media - Radio Stations and the Monroe County Sheriff Animal Farm will carry on the celebration! In years past, more than 2000 people cheered over 60 entries and this year promises to be another fun packed event as children and adults walk, dance and even skateboard on stage with their favorite variety of pet or pets dressed in every costume imaginable.
