Discovering Street Performers Including Strolling Magician Orlando

By Thomas Lewis


While there are street performers and vendors in many areas of the United States, there are a few cities in which these performers and others are more prevalent. These include, New York, New Orleans, Austin, Orlando and Key West. Whether stopping a strolling magician Orlando, or visiting Key West, Florida has a lot to offer when it comes to street performers.

While there are a number of street performers and food vendors in Orlando, one of the most popular areas for street performers is that of Key West. For, in 2018 TripAdvisor provided a Certificate of Excellence to the entertainment district and nightly sunset celebration festival. While this is the case, it is believed that the naturalist, John Audubon photographed and wrote about the amazing sunsets long before the celebrations began to take place.

Tennessee Williams, or so it is believed, actually started the first sunset celebration while applauding as the Sun sank below the horizon. Mallory Square in Key West has been hosting this type of celebration for years. For, it is the meeting place where locals and travelers alike gather to watch the sunset while enjoying a number of street performers, eating, drinking and shopping.

Whether a lover of music with an island flair, singer songwriters, poets, storytellers or street performers, there is often something for everyone at the celebration. For, every night the music provides a soundtrack for a number of different performers working to entertain the crowds solely for tips. While most performers live in or near the city, there are others who come from near and far to treat those attending the celebration to different types of performances.

Danger Acts are also a feature in some of the performances at the celebration. For, there are a multitude of uni-cyclists, sword swallowers, knife throwers, high wire acts, hand balancers and others. Whereas, one performance includes cats jumping through hoops of fire. If lucky, individuals might even catch some of the talented performers in the area which have appeared on shows such as America's Got Talent.

Individuals attending the celebration often find comedy troupes, poets and storytellers among the entertainers. While this is the case, the performers can often be transients which can be good as there can often be new and different performers each and every evening. Whereas, as might be expected, local and traveling street performers are often working for tips so gratuities are always appreciated unless otherwise advised.

Vendors include a great selection of wares from local and traveling artists and craftsmen. These include, souvenirs, clothing, painting, jewelry and toys. Whereas, there are also a number of food and drink vendors on site. One such vendor which has become famous is that of Martin and Lewis Bagels and Cream Cheese. Whereas, there are a number of others, including upper scale food trucks offering gourmet food items as well as those offering festival food favorites, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Mallory Square and Key West have long been interconnected. For, without the nightly celebration of the sunset, Key West would not be Key West. Whereas, if not for Key West, Mallory Square would not be the same magical vibrant place it has become over the years. While this is the case, it is ultimately the locals and visitors in attendance each and every evening which has made the celebration the successful event it is today.
