SETTING UP AS A PERFORMER

Here is the procedure for setting up as a performer: Show up on site at the Manager's kiosk on the north-east end of Mallory Square Dock two hours and 15 minutes before the time of sunset (call 305-292-7700 for message with set up time). Fill out and sign a registration and release form. All performers must participate in a seniority based lottery prior to set up. We do not make advanced reservations for acts. Participation and location is determined on a nightly basis. If you need any further information you may contact at the number above or E-Mail us at sunmail@sunsetcelebration.org.

There are plenty of spaces available for buskers in the summer. We try to accommodate all performers. There are times of the year when the pier is full of performers and we try to accommodate all but we cannot guarantee a space during these times.

We hope to see you at Sunset!!
