This weekend
📖 Saturday Story Time @ Marathon Branch Library | Saturday (12/6) at 10:00am – Whether your toddler thinks books are chew toys or your preschooler is already “reading,” Marathon Library’s Saturday Story Time delivers stories, songs, and activities, plus a breather for you.

😎 Sunday Funday @ Blue Flamingo Resort Key West | Sunday (12/7) at 12:00pm – Sunday calls for poolside civility at Rum Row’s Sip & Swim, with bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys, and live music carrying you into the afternoon.

🎸 Retro-Sky Rock Band @ Caribbean Club | Sunday (12/7) at 5:00pm – Nothing beats live rock on the sand with a tiki drink, and Retro-Sky brings the hits from Zeppelin to the 90s and 00s.

🧳 Personal Effects @ The Armory | Tuesday (12/9) at 7:00pm – Personal Effects is unpacking onstage in a world premiere by Chris Moore, as siblings return to Key West to sort their estranged father’s things and his sainted reputation.
