Must-See Key West: Mallory Square's Sunset Celebration

File this nightly event under: Must See to Understand. And yes, it’s free! Famous within certain circles and a wonderful surprise to tourists who discover it without forewarning, Key West’s sunset party in Mallory Square is one of America’s greatest street theater experiences. The level of talent spans the spectrum, from “Wow, isn’t that guy in Cirque du Soleil?” to “Wow, I can’t believe that guy would make such a fool out of himself in public.” There are jugglers and acrobats and musicians and performance artists… as well as crafters and vendors, hawkers and hagglers, and hordes of European tourists who are typically more wowed by the sunset than the human spectacles playing out from every direction. (Street theater is not uncommon in Europe, after all.)
