365 Days a Year: The celebration runs every day, weather permitting — so there’s always a reason to show up.
Timing: Festivities typically kick off about two hours before sunset and continue through dusk. In winter months that’s often starting around mid-late afternoon, and in summer it can begin later as the sun sets later in the evening.
What You’ll See
As the sun begins its descent, the square fills with an energetic mix of:
Street performers: Jugglers, magicians, fire-twirlers, unicyclists, comedy acts and stunt entertainers that bring spontaneous fun for all ages.
Live music: Local musicians and songwriters often play acoustic sets or impromptu shows by the water.
Artists & vendors: Browse handmade jewelry, island art, crafts, and quirky souvenirs from local creators.
Food & drink: Local food carts and nearby restaurants keep you fueled while you enjoy the show.
Sunset view: The real centerpiece: a stunning tropical sunset over the Gulf of Mexico that often draws applause as daylight fades.
