This year’s Key West Holiday Parade featured 101 floats. Yes, 101. That was a long parade and a huge time commitment for the crowds that lined Truman Avenue and Duval Street the evening of Dec. 7. Did you make it through the whole thing, or did you leave before Santa showed up on the fire truck as the grand finale?
If so, no worries. Not only did resident Chris Sloan film the whole parade, but he also worked his time-lapse video magic to speed things up and show the whole thing in a blessedly short 10 minutes.
The video is free for all to view and share on YouTube at Time Flies Travel Videos, where Sloan has also posted a series of holiday highlight films as well as a comprehensive Key West video time capsule series called Key West Time Flies, which he spent nearly four years capturing and condensing.
