Where: Fort East Martello, 3501 S. Roosevelt, Key West, FL 33040
The legendary Zombie Bike Ride is back and bigger than ever, ready to unleash thousands of costumed riders on Sunday, October 19. This wildly popular Fantasy Fest tradition combines creativity, community, and just the right amount of creepy fun for an unforgettable evening in Key West.
The festivities kick off at the Zombieland Pre-Ride Party at Fort East Martello from 2 to 6 p.m., where participants can transform into the undead with the help of professional face and body painters. Guests can fuel up with bites from local food vendors, sip on drinks from a fully stocked bar, and soak in the electric atmosphere before hitting the road.
At 6 p.m., the horde of zombies takes to the streets, pedaling down A1A and through the heart of downtown Key West in a dazzling spectacle of spooky costumes and lively energy. The ride concludes with a massive after-party at the Coffee Butler Amphitheater at Truman Waterfront Park, presented by Rams Head, where the celebration continues with music and dancing late into the night.
Registration is just $10 when completed online in advance at ZombieBikeRide.com. Whether you’re a first-timer or a returning rider, this is one Fantasy Fest event you don’t want to miss.
