It was a perfect weekend to enjoy sun, seafood and shopping with drinks in hand and local music filling the air as thousands filled Marathon Community Park for the 48th Original Marathon Seafood Festival. Quickly approaching its 50th year as the Middle Keys’ largest annual event, the product of the Marathon Chamber of Commerce and Organized Fishermen of Florida showed once again why it’s the biggest party in Marathon, and all for a good cause – proceeds from the event, which were still being calculated at press time, are dished out every year in the form of scholarships to Marathon High School graduates as they begin their careers and higher education journeys.
