From Duval Street to North Roosevelt, ’tis the season for the biggest, brightest, most bizarre and bejeweled light displays, as only the Southernmost City can deliver. The Conch Tour Train and Old Town Trolley both offer tours of the competitors around town, and residents participate in a little friendly competition. The winners of the holiday light competition this year were: 1st place to 503 Washington Street (Key West Mayor Teri Johnston and partner Dar Castillo), 2nd to 1520 Catherine Street, and 3rd to 2400 Seidenberg Ave. Johnston and Castillo donated the $500 first place prize to the Boys and Girls Club.

Stop by and see the sparkle … and if you’re feeling competitive, enter your house next year.
