Above the list of stores and attractions on this sign for Mallory Square is the slogan: “Where the Sun Sets and the Fun Begins.” By day, tourists shop in this Old Town square. As dusk approaches, people line up along the waterfront to watch the sun set over the Atlantic. The daily event is aptly called the “Sunset Celebration.” This party tradition, which began in the late 1960s, is surrounded by musicians, street entertainers and of course food and drink. The square is named after Stephen Russell Mallory. He was the son of Ellen, the first white woman to settle in Key West in 1823. He became a U.S. Senator and Secretary for the Confederate Navy.
