"Oh, no. We used to but it's gotten a little wild. With some of the costumes the women wear - well we have a 13 and 14-year old and they just don't need to see that."
My expectations soared. A Key West Fantasy Fest would be too much to hope for, but maybe it would compete with a good old-fashioned New Orleans Mardi Gras. As it turned out she had no need to worry. It was much like a Renaissance Fair along the shoreline - music, food, bands, stuff for sale, beer, shows, fireworks, and a lot of people who took their costumes WAY too seriously. I had a good time although I ate too much, drank too much, and the weather was less than cooperative. I've reached a point, though, where 9:30 is a late night so I couldn't get in too much trouble.
A pirate ship invaded the port with cannon fire. The militia responded with shore batteries and muskets.
Anyone dressed like a pirate could participate in the Sunday parade.
