More than 70 years after Phil Sadowski began creating his vision for the island that would become the “gem of the Florida Keys,” Key Colony Beach celebrated its 68th official birthday with Key Colony Beach Day on March 2. Moving back to its former location by KCB’s City Hall, the day kicked off with vintage cars in a birthday parade before visitors explored dozens of vendor booths, a pet parade, live music and the famed “Barracuda Races.” Established to commemorate Key Colony Beach’s incorporation in 1957, the annual event is presented by the Key Colony Beach Community Association.
