Duval Street
Do the "Duval Crawl" down the street for shops, restaurants & bars. There's always something strangely unique found on this street. It could be a dog dressed up in shorts, people making palm tree hats, it might be the weekend for bikers to invade. Every week it's different and fun.


Mallory Square & Sunset Celebration
Just before the sun sets, come visit the fun celebration down where the cruise ships dock. Enjoy the zany circus like shows done by the talented street performers each night.
