Events on Florida's Space Coast

There’s always something happening on the Space Coast. From seafood festivals and craft fairs to birding festivals, brewery bashes, and community celebrations, Brevard County’s event calendar is packed with fun year-round. Whether you’re planning your trip around a specific event or just want to see what’s going on while you’re in town, you’ve come to the right place.

The Space Coast has a long tradition of community events that showcase everything that makes this area special — fresh local seafood, Florida’s incredible wildlife, the artsy vibe of Cocoa Village, the laid-back energy of Cocoa Beach, and the rich history of Titusville and Merritt Island. Spring and fall bring some of the biggest festivals, but honestly there’s rarely a weekend without something worth checking out somewhere along the coast.

Browse our upcoming events listings below and find something fun to add to your Space Coast itinerary.
