The Key West Art & Historical Society is accepting vendor applications for ZombieLand, the family-friendly pre-party to the annual Zombie Bike Ride, one of the events of Fantasy Fest. This year’s ZombieLand will take place on Sunday, Oct. 19, from 2 to 6 p.m., on the parade grounds of Fort East Martello Museum, 3501 S. Roosevelt Blvd.
Each year, thousands of costumed revelers gather at Fort East Martello to kick off the Zombie Bike Ride. The event offers activities for all ages, including a dedicated kids’ zone with bounce houses and games, live entertainment and face and body painters ready to perfect every zombie look. Guests can also browse local art and handmade goods, enjoy food trucks and unwind with beverages from a full bar featuring beer, wine and specialty drinks.
The society is seeking a wide range of vendors – food vendors, face and body artists, jewelers, craftspeople, performers and local nonprofits – to join this year’s festivities.
“ZombieLand brings together everything people love about Key West – our art, our sense of fun, our community spirit and, of course, our love of the unusual,” said Bonnie McInnis, events manager at the Key West Art & Historical Society. “It’s an incredible event that supports a great cause, and we’re thrilled to welcome both new and returning vendors to be part of it.”
Vendor spaces are limited. Interested parties must apply by Wednesday, Oct. 15 to ensure placement. More information is at kwahs.org/zombie.
