The Historic Cocoa Village is one of the oldest cities on Florida Space Coast, and is a thriving center for art, merchants, and performances. Historic Cocoa Village, the downtown core of the City of Cocoa, was first settled in the mid 1800s and has evolved into one of Brevard County’s premier shopping and entertainment districts and one of the Space Coast’s most popular attractions. Cocoa Village is one of the Space Coast’s most popular destinations for travelers and locals looking for a unique shopping and dining experience in a relaxing atmosphere with a village vibe!
The Fall Art and Craft Fair in Cocoa Village is an event celebrated every year here on the Space Coast that celebrates and exhibits some of our local talent here in Brevard. For 36 years, the Cocoa Village community has been celebrating the local creative talent that keeps the culture of Brevard county flourishing and thriving. Held October 20th through the 21st, visiting the village at this time of the year is a great feeling and atmosphere. This fair is held on the streets of Cocoa Village which will remain closed for the weekend long occasion. Take a walk along the art lined streets and and view countless art exhibition booths and wonderful sights that line the park on the Banana River. Featuring lively street entertainment and bands like The Gemini Band, a beer garden, kid zones, and unique dining experiences, there is always something to enjoy for the whole family. This event is totally child and pet friendly so bring everyone! Delicious food vendors also station themselves at this event, and there is free admission and free parking. Look no further on your search for great food, amazing art, and a fantastic experience on the Space Coast to enjoy with the entire family. Come on down!
Happy October! Here on the Space Coast, October is one of our favorite months. In October, our average high temperatures gradually drop from the mid-80s into the upper-70s, and our humidity drops bringing mostly clear, dry skies. October is the perfect month to visit the beaches: the weather is mild and sunny, and the beaches are less crowded than prime vacation season.
There are many great community events that happen during October as well, from pumpkin patches and craft shows to special fall-themed events. Boo at the Zoo is a popular family activity on weekends leading up to Halloween; Rockledge Gardens’ Fall Festival and ongoing farmer’s market is a great opportunity to pick up fresh fall produce; and Cocoa Village’s Fall Art and Craft Fair is a community favorite.
This year, October will also see several rocket launches. ULA and SpaceX will kick the month off with two launches during the first week, and a third scheduled for later this month. Be sure to check our blog for more information and launch times. Other celestial events in October include a full moon on October 5, the Draconid Meteor Shower from October 6-10, and the beginning of the Orionid Meteor Shower that lasts from October 2 through November 7.
