KEY WEST’S ZOMBIE RIDE BACK FROM THE DEAD

The undead roamed the island on wheels on Sunday, Oct. 24, resurrecting the event on their own, after organizers had to cancel the original Zombie Bike Ride due to road construction and COVID concerns.

At least three separate groups of costumed cyclists biked three different routes and mustered at three different locations to converge on Duval Street, even using a police escort where needed.

The show went on despite COVID, with hundreds of creative costumes worn by locals and visitors. Fantasy Fest continues through Sunday, Oct. 31, when costumed tots will take over the streets for trick-or-treating

The ‘official’ Zombie Bike Ride was canceled this year, but rose again, as multiple groups of unofficial zombies banded together and pedaled through town on Oct. 24. LARRY BLACKBURN/Keys Weekly
