This years fantasy Fest activities really got underway last evening with the Zombie Bicycle Ride from Stock Island to Duval Street in Key West. There were some 1100 or 1200 participants and the parade went on for miles as it wound its way from We Cycle Bicycle Shop and the Hurricane Hole on Stock Island to Salute on Higgs Beach; then to Green Parrot; and finally The Porch on Duval Street.
The participants were painted and dressed as zombies and the parade of the walking dead proceeded through the haunted streets of Key West. They were young and old and everything in between participating, but they were all dressed for the occasion and the toothy grins could not be hidden by the zombie painted faces.
