The Eau Gallie Arts District is a cool part of Melbourne, Florida to spend a bit of time…read more There are murals and cool shops. There are also cool restaurants and bars, as well. In my opinion, a townor city needs to have a neighborhood with a funky, eclectic soul like this particular neighborhood. If you find yourself in Melbourne, Florida, I would definitely recommend checking out the Eau Gallie Arts District.

Eau Gallie is a historic Florida settlement in what is now Melbourne. This area of Florida is known…read moreas the Space Coast. The first settlement in Eau Gallie was established in 1859 when John C. Houston received an 80-acre homestead on the north shore of the Eau Gallie River. In the late1800's the area had thriving pineapple plantations and land was selling for $1,000 an acre until the freeze of 1894-95 which killed off the pineapple crops. The Eau Gallie Arts District is known as EGAD. It is a Florida Main Street program created to bring revitalization to the historic downtown Eau Gallie area by adding murals to the buildings. In November 2017, 19 murals were added to the downtown creating an outdoor art museum. The murals are part of the Anti-Gravity Project aimed to "elevate outdoor spaces, generate positive community energy, and showcase the EGAD as the growing epicenter of innovation on the Space Coast." The historic district includes the Historic Rossetter House Museum and Gardens, the Eau Gallie Public Library, Pineapple Park and restaurants, galleries, and shops. FM Pizza and Joan's Perfect Pies are two businesses you don't want to miss. The Eau Gallie Arts District hosts various events throughout the year. One of the most popular is First Fridays when you can stroll down the historic Highland Avenue and visit the different shops, galleries, and bars that host events and exhibits. Other popular events throughout the year include Whiskey in the District, An Evening in Paris, and the Rocky Water Brew Fest. I love when art and history come together so this was a really fun place for me to explore. Unfortunately the downtown arts recently suffered a blow with the closing of the Foosaner Art Museum whose loss will be felt for years to come. In the future EGAD will see the former art museum into a 180-room hotel by Northboro Builders who purchased it, a parking garage built, and more retail businesses added to Highland Avenue. Hopefully as they focus on getting bigger they won't loss the old Florida charm which was what made this such a delightful place to visit in the first place.
