The Key West Business Guild presents the 35th annual Headdress Ball, the premier gay and lesbian event of the Fantasy Fest celebration, which proudly opens the brand new Key West Amphitheater at the Truman Waterfront Park on Thursday, October 26. Come experience your favorite Fantasy Fest event in a new waterside setting and help Key West celebrate a beautiful expanded park system. Mayor Craig Cates will dedicate the facility and Howard Livingston will perform a special song he wrote for the occasion.

Tom Luna returns as the outrageous EmCee, and Rudegirl will again do the sound.  Randy Roberts opens the show and is joined by the best of Key West local talent throughout the contest.  Over twenty five contestants will parade their Headdress creations on the amphitheater stage to vie for the $3,000 first prize.  Show starts at 8:00 PM, with the gates opening at 6:30 PM. The Guild has retained its traditional four top table seating and expanded General Admission area with last year’s pricing.  Bar service by the Aqua Night Club and SideBar.  This event always sells out so book your tickets early!

Rain date Friday, October 27.
