Introduction

Mallory Square is located on the harbor side of the northwest corner of Old Town Key West, Florida, and is the city's most famous public square and sunset viewing mecca. Named after 19th-century Cuban tobacco merchant Francis Mallory, the square is the cultural and entertainment center of Key West. Starting an hour before sunset each evening, the square comes alive with street performers, sword swallowers, fire dancers, acrobats, musicians, and various artists, forming the unique "Sunset Celebration" tradition. Visitors can sit on the seawall, enjoy the spectacular Gulf of Mexico sunset, and experience free street performances and a lively market atmosphere, making it an unmissable Key West experience.
