Merritt Island Fest

Merritt Island is gearing up for a weekend that blends Island and coastal culture, live music, and the laid‑back energy only a true surf community can deliver.

This year’s Festival & Surf Expo brings together local artisans, board shapers, food vendors, and ocean‑minded brands for a celebration of Florida’s beach lifestyle.The highlight of the event is a special performance by Landon McNamara, the Hawaiian singer‑songwriter known for his soulful blend of reggae, rock, and island vibes. His smooth vocals and positive energy make him a perfect fit for a festival rooted in sun, surf, and good times.

Expect a crowd‑pleasing set that drifts from mellow grooves to big‑smile anthems as the sun goes down.

Local restaurants from all across the Space Coast, Merritt Island, the Beaches, and Cape Canaveral are invited to participate in the Merritt Island Fest Food Court Pavilion. Each restaurant will receive 12 feet of frontage space to sell food items and offer tastings that showcase their establishment.Live demos, surf gear showcases, family‑friendly activities, and a soundtrack that captures the spirit of the coast, Merritt Island Fest & Surf Expo is shaping up to be one of the season’s standout gatherings.
