If you've been looking for things to do in Florida, get ready. I'm taking you on a journey for this one, over to the ocean side of Florida, to explore a historic district you might not have ever heard of before. Tucked away in Melbourne, you'll find Eau Gallie, a historic district with a special place in the heart of the Sunshine State. Located in the Northern part of Melbourne, Eau Gallie was an independent city in Brevard County from 1860 to 1969. After voting to merge governments with Melbourne, Eau Gallie became part of the city. Today, Eau Gallie still holds the same charm and beauty it did back when it was independent, just now in the form of districts. The Eau Gallie Arts District (EGAD) is a fully accredited Florida Main Street program and one of the most enchanting and beautiful places to spend an afternoon.

The Eau Gallie Arts District (EGAD) is a vibrant and culturally rich neighborhood situated along the Indian River Lagoon.

This beautiful neighborhood is known for its artistic charm, eclectic atmosphere, and a strong sense of community. There are so many lovely things to do in Eau Gallie.

Over the years, EGAD has evolved into a hub for artists, musicians, and creative entrepreneurs.

Characterized by its historic buildings, colorful murals, and artistic installations that adorn the streets, the district's commitment to public art is evident through the various galleries, studios, and art spaces that line the area.

One of the highlights of EGAD is the First Friday Art Walk, held on the first Friday of each month. During this event, galleries, boutiques, and restaurants stay open late, offering visitors a chance to explore the local art scene, enjoy live music, and experience the district's unique culture.

In recent years, EGAD has undergone revitalization efforts, attracting new businesses, restaurants, and cultural initiatives. The district's commitment to preserving its historical heritage while promoting contemporary art has made it a model for creative communities and historic neighborhoods in Florida.

Apart from its thriving art scene, EGAD is also known for its lively community events, festivals, and markets. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the sense of togetherness fostered by these gatherings.

Whether you're an art enthusiast, a food lover, or someone looking to experience a vibrant cultural atmosphere, the Eau Gallie Arts District is a must-visit destination that offers a glimpse into the dynamic and creative spirit of the Space Coast.
