The Marathon Seafood Festival never disappoints, and this year was no different as thousands of guests packed the Marathon Community Park for libations, music, art and the bounty from the sea. As always, dozens of volunteers from the Marathon community were the backbone of the event’s success, ensuring that the Marathon Chamber of Commerce and Organized Fishermen of Florida’s festival will always stand as a high point on Marathon’s yearly entertainment calendar.
“We had such a blast seeing everyone and celebrating our commercial fishing heritage,” said Chamber CEO Daniel Samess. “Between all the fresh seafood, live music, retail vendors, cold libations and great weather it was a successful festival. I would like to also thank our title sponsor Tom Thumb Food Stores, all our other valued sponsors, volunteers, our OFF partners, and my staff – Erika, Jeanine, Laura, Sandra, Janice and Rhonda – who make me look better than I am.”
LEAVING THEIR MARK
A new chalkboard addition next to the Weekly Newspapers’ welcoming tent was a runaway hit as locals and tourists alike left their marks to represent their hometowns and businesses from around the globe. Can you find your signature?
