It’s that time of year again, and on behalf of the entire Board of Directors and event coordinators, welcome to the 47th Annual Space Coast Art Festival!

The art show is one of the top in the Southeast, drawing high-quality artists from throughout the nation. The festival kicks off Thanksgiving morning with a 5K Turkey Trot at 7:30 a.m. at Bailiwick Mall on Brevard Avenue. Entrants can run, walk or jog in this entertaining start to a fun-filled weekend.  On Friday night, paid guests have the opportunity to meet and chat with the Festival judges at the judges’ reception generally held at a private residence. They will also have an opportunity to meet the winning t-shirt/poster artist and receive an autographed poster. After that, many guests will adjourn to the downtown street party where live music can be heard up until 11 p.m.

The main show begins Saturday at 9 a.m. and runs until 5 p.m. Stick around or come back for more live stage music downtown that evening until 11 p.m. The art show continues Sunday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. There will be plenty of activities for the entire family, including the Margaret Heins Student Art Show (located on the grassy lot on South Brevard Avenue) where you will have the opportunity to view the work of many young artists from throughout Brevard County, children’s hands-on art, face-painting and live entertainment throughout the weekend. A variety of food and drink will be available at the food court throughout the show and at our local restaurants. Free Park-and-Ride service will be available at the Hilton Hotel in Cocoa Beach.
