Weekend traffic advisory for Marathon

Marathon Seafood Festival organizers are expecting more than 20,000 people to attend the event over the course of Saturday and Sunday, making it one of the biggest annual events in Marathon.

The event will run at Marathon Community Park from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Sheriff’s Office Deputies will be on hand stopping traffic intermittently on U.S. 1 for pedestrian crossings. Traffic tends to slow near Mile Marker 48.5, but Deputies will be working to keep traffic moving quickly.

Motorists who need to traverse Marathon are asked to leave early to avoid any potential backups.
