Space Coast Art Festival, (SCAF) is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization governed by an all volunteer Board of Directors. In 1963, a small group of artists and local community leaders, formed the first 'Cocoa Beach Sidewalk Art Show'. Sponsored by the City of Cocoa Beach and supported by the Cocoa Beach Woman's Club, the art show thrived for several years.

For the first 50 years of it's existence, the Space Coast Art Festival was located in downtown Cocoa Beach. Starting in 2014, the show decided to relocate to Port Canaveral. This new location offers spacious accommodations that allowed us to create an artists' booth layout that flows easily and will be more accessible to patrons.
