It may be one of the Keys’ smallest cities, but the celebration to mark 69 years since Key Colony Beach incorporated proved that local pride isn’t measured in square miles. The annual Key Colony Beach Day, hosted by the KCB Community Association on March 1, lined the streets around City Hall with dozens of vendors and food options, while live music and the sirens from “Barracuda Races” set the tone for a day of revelry. A parade with local dignitaries, first responders, business leaders and civic organizations – and even a band atop a pontoon boat – proceeded from 1st to 15th Street to get the party started on a day of local camaraderie to honor the “Gem of the Florida Keys.”
