Comfortable yet breezy weather conditions brought massive crowds to Islamorada’s Founders Park for the Gigantic Nautical Market on Feb. 22-23. Organized by the Upper Keys Rotary Club, the shopping event featuring 350-plus vendors also brought food trucks and a boat show along the beach. Tens of thousands were greeted and assisted by hundreds of volunteers from local Rotary clubs, high school students and community members. Proceeds from the Gigantic Nautical Market support students continuing their education at college and technical schools, as well as graduating Coral Shores seniors.
