Every night in Key West something magical occurs. The warm, golden sun dips below the glistening blue water, creating a painting in the sky with splashes of pink, purple, blue, and gold. It is truly a thing of beauty. It's no wonder, then, that the people of Key West, tourists and locals alike, flock to the western most point on the island, Mallory Square, to witness this sight. In the true spirit of Key West, a normal, everyday occurrence like the sunset becomes a reason to celebrate!  

 

Gathered in the square are food and drink vendors, jewelry makers, musicians, and a number of street performers that bring their unusual talents to entertain the crowds of people as they wait for the sun to set. One of the more notable performers is the "Cat Man". Known for being very eccentric, the Cat Man has trained his many cats to walk tight ropes, jump through flaming hoops, and catch treats with their front paws! There are also sword swallowers, acrobats, and others who perform simply amazing stunts. The performers begin about 90 minutes before sunset, so get there early to get a good spot! The Mallory Square sunset celebration is THE thing to do in the early evening in Key West. Where else in the world does the sunset become a party?!
