In a move befitting an island community only a stone’s throw away from the water at any point, Marathon pivoted its city-sponsored trick or treat to the scenic sidewalks of Sombrero Beach on Oct. 21. Forgoing the popular “trunk or treat” made popular in the years since the pandemic, local businesses, nonprofits and community groups still brought the displays, decorations and tons of candy for hundreds of costumed youngsters.

With such a strong response to the event, city officials told the Weekly they plan to bring the festivities back to Sombrero Beach next year.
