Nothing says dignified sexiness like this festival, held in early September, which attracts
thousands of lesbians who just want to party.
Fantasy Fest

You gotta see this festival held throughout the week leading up to Halloween. It's when all
the inns get competitive about decorating their properties, and everyone gets decked out in
the most outrageous costumes they can cobble together (or decked down in daring body
paint).
Goombay Festival
CULTURE
Held during the same out-of-control week as Fantasy Fest, this is a Bahamian celebration
of food, crafts and culture.
Parrot Heads in Paradise Convention

This festival in November is for, you guessed it, Jimmy Buffett fans (rabid ones only, nat-
