June 6-10 is coming up pretty fast for Pride Fest 2012.  This sounds like too much fun, a street fair, pride parade, pool parties, sunset sails, karaoke, comedy and film.   Events for the week include the family friendly street fair on legendary Duval Street and steamy late night clothing –optional parties (probably not family friendly). There will be lots of dancing, the Boogie Night Dance Party, Fruits of the Rainbow Dance Party and Foam Dance Party. Competition will be fierce for Mr., Miss and MS Pride.  All the fun culminates as the community joins together on Duval Street for the lively Key West Pride Parade which features 100 foot section of the famous “Sea to Sea Rainbow Flag”.
