Photos from Islander News archives
There’s something special about looking back through old photographs. They capture moments in time, familiar faces and traditions that have helped shape a community.
As these images from Islander News’ archives show, while parade floats, fashions and even the Village itself have changed over the decades, the creativity, community spirit and hometown pride that define Key Biscayne’s Fourth of July Parade have remained remarkably constant.
From our earliest archived photos in 1976 to today, generations of residents have embraced what many proudly call “The Best Lil’ Hometown Parade in South Florida.”
As the community prepares for the 68th annual Village of Key Biscayne Fourth of July Parade, one question remains: Who will take home this year’s parade honors?
