Dear Jim,
The festival is held daily from 2 hours before until two hours after sunset; year-round, weather permitting. Local artisans
and crafters, pay a nominal nightly fee to participate in the event. We have a vast variety of participants; on any given night
you may see a jeweler,, glass blower, hair braiders, artisan soaps, gel candle makers and shell art. In addition to the
vendors, our busker entertainers change on a daily basis. Some of our year-round acts are face painters, acrobats and
escape artists. Buskers work strictly for tips and do not pay a fee to the festival.
The festival is responsible for paying for the hiring of a uniformed City of Clearwater Police Officer, insurance, website/social
media, advertising, and payroll for our pier management. The Sunsets Board of Directors is made up of volunteers who
oversee the year-round event. The Sunsets at Pier 60 Daily Festival has provided free family oriented entertainment on
Clearwater Beach for more than 23 years.
Sunset Cinema offers locals and those visiting Clearwater Beach an opportunity to watch free movies under the stars.The
movies are held on Friday and Saturday evenings, weather permitting.The local business community and the Sunsets-
Festival are financially responsible for bringing this free family oriented addition to Clearwater Beach,at no cost to the City.
We feel that the festival and Sunset Cinema are a quality of life benefit not only to tourism industry but also to those are
residents of Clearwater and surrounding communities,
