Why Locals Love This Sweet Tradition
The Space Coast Strawberry Festival has become a beloved tradition for many Brevard County families. With its combination of wholesome entertainment, delicious food, and community spirit, it’s easy to see why this event draws crowds from Melbourne, Viera, and beyond.
Last year, I watched as children’s faces lit up during the strawberry-themed puppet show, and I still remember the good-natured competition during the pie-eating contest. These moments of joy and community connection are what make our local festivals so special.
