What's Happening at Holiday Isle: Week of October 17-23


Over 300 people attended our 3rd Food Truck Invasion on Friday and enjoy the food from Mucho Nacho, Los Chamos, Catered Bliss and the Gypsy Kitchen.  The crowd was entertained by Brenda Star and we even had some dancing going on.  Our next Food Truck Invasion will be November 11 where we will also have the Blood Mobile on hand.  A detailed list of trucks will be published soon.

Thank you to everyone who showed up for the Trikes for Tykes races on Saturday.  Unfortunately due to the rain we had to cancel the event but we will be rescheduling soon.  Stay tuned for the new date.

We were pleased to host our very first banquet in the brand new Horizon room at the Top of the Isle!  We hosted 100 members of our community for the Islamorada Chamber Installation Banquet.  Even though the rain kept our guests from enjoying the sunset view from our new balcony a great time was still had by all. 




Coming up in a couple weeks it's time for Halloween!  Get your costume ready and come on down to the Tiki Bar on 10/28 for a $1000 Bacardi Costume Contest or join us on Saturday 10/29 for the Fantasy Fest Fun Bus to Key West!
