Temps during the holidays in the Middle Keys never fell below the 60s in 2024, but kids and their families still tested their legs on ‘ice’ at the city of Marathon Parks and Recreation Department’s fourth annual Tropical Holiday Fun Fest. DJ Trae Dae spun the beats at Marathon Community Park as the city’s little ones enjoyed food, music, a bounce house and a Christmas movie on the green – plus visits from Santa and the Mayor of Mount Crumpit.
