Outdoor walks and façade observations. Interior admission is not included.

The full story

Mallory Square is Key West's Old Town waterfront gathering place for sunset. Come for the open water view and the weather-dependent mix of artisans and performers, expecting a busy public event.

The square turns sunset into a shared Key West ritual rather than a brief glance at the horizon. Its position near the north end of Duval Street also makes it a natural finish to an Old Town walk or a nearby museum visit.

  • The square faces the water at the edge of Old Town.
  • Artisans and street performers gather for the Sunset Celebration when conditions allow.

Arrive before sunset if the celebration matters to you; its start shifts with the season.

Check weather and the event's current information before planning an evening around performers.
