KEY WEST PRIDEFEST 2011

Key west Island Gym took to the streets again this year, this time to participate in the colorful and exuberant celebration of diversity and freedom.

Our wildly costumed walking group rolled through old Key West on a hot Sunday afternoon from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean showing our colors and pride.It seemed that all of Key West was eager to share theirs too. What a fantastic day it was.

We designed and constructed caribbean festival inspired costumes especially for this extraordinary event and were delighted and honored to receive the "best walking group" award as well as the "most creative" award.

All of the floats, and the classic cars, the walking and riding groups as well as all of the individuals looked amazing as they celebrated.

There is truly nowhere like Key West.

We always like to invite everybody to be part of our costumed walking group and you don't have to be a gym member to participate so check back to Key West Island Gym's blog page for info on upcoming festival parades.
