Key West gets brighter each week, as homes, businesses and the entire Historic Seaport neighborhood throw the switch to light up their exterior showcases.
Although the pandemic canceled the city’s in-person tree and menorah lighting, the events took place virtually on Facebook Live, and a small, socially distanced group of city and county officials were on hand to light the menorah at Bayview Park on Dec. 13.
This year’s Hanukkah celebration is Dec. 10-18.
