Start with the pit if shade is your priority at Old School Square Pavilion. Pit 1, Pit 2 and Pit 3 all model out around 94% shaded across a show, the most protected spots on the grounds. Delray Beach sits deep in south Florida, and even a late-day sun carries weight here, so that covered band is worth the ticket for anyone who wilts in the heat.
Just behind the pit, lower pavilion sections 105 through 107 land near 88% shaded. Overall the venue averages about 81% shade across an event, easing to roughly 56% if you count from 6 PM, the earlier hour is where the sun still finds seats.
The lawn and the outer pavilion take the low evening light. Lawn 9 actually holds up well at about 71% shaded, while Lawn 1 and Lawn 2 sit closer to 63%, and section 201 near 69%. These are the open-sky seats: fine once the sun is down, brighter before then.
Shows typically start at 7 PM, with sunset over Delray Beach around 8:15 in high summer.
