Sunset Celebration Mallory Square

In the evening, everybody comes to Mallory Square to watch the sunset. I always love to watch the entertainers at Mallory Square. Some of the artists performing for many years now. Everybody loves them, and they love the applaus (and money).

Take your favourite drink, sit down, make sure that you have your camera ready, and watch the sun goes down. If you want to sit, you have to come early. I like to stand and walk around, watch the people, and enjoy the artists.

There are vendors selling their handmade crafts, like paintings, pictures, jewelry, and much more. There are also vendors selling food and drinks. It's always crowded, but that makes the sunset-celebration special. This is something you cannot miss!!

It's a nice way to begin your evening.

This happens every night at sunset. Street performers (like our friend Jonathan) can sign up to perform and ''pass the hat''. Jonathan got a good pick, as you can see.

Watching the Sunset!

You can't imagine how many people flock to see the sunset. Make sure you and your significant other get a good spot early! All the cruise ships and tourists gather there, and you will see the famous entertainers do their thing as the most gorgeous sunset casts its orange glow on the square. There are many cafés and a great promenade to take a nice long walk along, too.

Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square

Every evening we intended to go and watch the sunset . . . and every evening our inability to get our act in order meant we were eating/drinking/chatting to that nice (slightly tipsy?) couple from Jersey City . . . and then it was dark.

So the last evening, in plenty of time, we took a meandering walk through shady residential streets - heading purposefully west. The streets away from Duval and Truman are so quiet - lined by larger Victorian houses with their inviting shady porches and tree-filled front yards mixed up with the narrow, brightly painted conch houses.

You know the sort of conversation you start having - "We could work from home . . . easily. I could do some bar work. It would be great - we could live here!!" (We later saw some real estate magazines. There goes that dream).

Anyhow, despite succumbing to the odd tempting cold beer and margarita around the harbour, we made it to Mallory Square with half an hour to spare. This is why the rest of the town is so quiet! So there's the guys selling overpriced paintings, the interesting jewellery . . . (hey, if lots of tourists are gathered in one place sell 'em stuff)- some of it even looked OK. The street theatre is distracting - the performers we saw were very amusing or it might just be me who finds beagles doing tricks that funny.

And then the sun starts to plummet from the sky. Either I don't watch many sunsets (and I guess I don't) but when the sun gets close to the horizon it really seems to speed up!! We had a great spot sat on the water's edge - you're surrounded by hundreds of people doing the same thing but it seemed curiously peaceful for those few minutes as the orange glow spreads across the water. I liked it.
