How to Set Up as a Performer

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.

Performer's Guidelines

Keep your audience toed up close to your act (it is recommended that you use a rope to delineate your stage area)

Regulate your "show" time to a half hour or less while taking at least a fifteen minute break between shows

Refrain from using profanity, slander or obscene language in your act or towards other participants

Be courteous to spectators, artisans and fellow performers alike

There are two amplified spaces available

If fire is used in an act, a fire extinguisher is required

No potentially dangerous audience participation is permitted

Drinking alcoholic beverages is prohibited

If your act generates a mess, you must clean it up

All performers are to work for tips only- the sale of merchandise related to your act is permitted pending approval by the Participation Committee

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 and we cannot guarantee a space during these times.

We hope to see you at Sunset!!
