A Short Goombay History
As a thriving Bahama community, Key West is a colorful and vibrant culture that was created with rich Bahamian heritage. As the years passed and more visitors from other areas came to Key West, locals created a fun festival to not only draw in more guests during the slow season but to celebrate and express the beautiful heritage of the area. In the midst of Fantasy Festival, an additional festival called the Bahama Village Goombay Festival has made it’s way to the October line-up of events. Named after the goatskin drums used in traditional Bahamian music, the Goombay Festival fills the streets with music, dance, and the smells of delicious foods.
