Here in Cocoa Beach, the weather never drops below the 50s and rarely rises above the 80s. Because of this beautiful weather, Cocoa Beach farmers market and craft fairs can take place all throughout the year. Feel free to enjoy all the markets and fairs listed below when your journey brings you to Cocoa Beach at anytime of the year. We’ve listed some of our favorites below.
Satellite Beach Farmers Market, 1089 S Patrick Drive in Satellite Beach, Thursdays from 10-4
One of the things we like best about farmers markets is knowing that there isn’t just fresh produce and baked goods sold, they also sell the local arts and crafts that make perfect gifts and/or memorabilia for travelers who want to remember their vacation in Cocoa Beach forever. Additionally, this fun market in Satellite Beach offers a revolving group of vendors in addition to the ones who appear every week, which means you can go every Thursday of the month and never experience the same market twice.
Melbourne Art Festival, Wickham Park in Melbourne, April 27th and 28
Offering free parking and free admission, visitors can save their money for the important stuff: the opportunity to purchase art pieces created by the area’s most talented artists. For 30 years the Melbourne Art Festival has thrilled people from all over the world, featuring fine jewelry made right here on the Space Coast, a student art competition, live music, delicious food, and a kid’s zone that will help keep your littles occupied and entertained while you explore all the different booths.
