If your fantasies have ever included watching a gorgeous sunset on a sandy beach with daiquiri in hand, then dancing in the streets until morning with the world's friendliest and most imaginative extroverts, Fantasy Fest may be your dream come true. An international cast of revelers explore and exhibit their own fantasies during this 10-day festival that's one of the country's wildest and most colorful. If party god Bacchus were to star in a Looney Tunes cartoon, the result might look like Fantasy Fest. The giddy crowd mills around, gawking at one outrageous costume after another. Local saloons throw rambunctious parties that don't wind down until 4 a.m.
