Muralists will be painting onsite at A1A and Minutemen Causeway
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Space Coast Mural Festival will take place Saturday, March 23, and Sunday, March 24, in downtown Cocoa Beach near the intersection of A1A and Minutemen Causeway.
Both days start at 10 a.m. and end at 6 p.m.
This event is free to the public and is hosted by The Trent Art Gallery and Motivate Me.
According to the Space Coast Mural website, “This journey started as the Cocoa Beach Mural Project several years ago and has now built up into being the mural festival with global interaction through live streaming and online voting. We plan to continue this mission throughout the Space Coast in years to come but are continuing our second year in Cocoa Beach. A mural festival that cares about its artists while giving the town a beautiful reason for people to keep coming back. Giving back to the communities involved, one mural at a time.”
Muralists will be painting onsite, where you can marvel at their amazing creations, and enjoy music, food and much more.
You may vote online for your favorite mural at Spacecoastmuralfestival.com.
