Eau Gallie Arts District Main Street Inc

Eau Gallie Arts District Main Street is an historic neighborhood nestled between the Indian River and the railroad in the former Eau Gallie, FL, now Melbourne, FL.  The main street mission is to redevelop the historic commercial village of Eau Gallie and, boy, are we killing it.

Established in 1860, EGAD housed the original building that was to become the University of Florida. A recipient of a Florida Humanities grant that allows us to participate in the state managed audio historic walking tour, FLORIDA STORIES, download it from your smart phone and take the tour walking/rolling or at home on your phone or television.

Home to several art galleries, shops, a microbrewery and restaurants, the arts district was established in 2010 and went from 40% vacant to standing room only.  With an outdoor public arts program that boasts >30 murals and sculpture in public places, EGAD has a lovely public square with a band shell and very old live oak trees. 

Standing events include Whiskey in the District (Feb), Women We Love (Mar), Tacos in the District (Jul), and others' events -- Space Coast Pride, Rocky Water Brewfest, and Space Coast Music Festival.

EGAD has an Airbnb provider within the district that offers about a dozen properties--Uncle Scotty's Community Bed & Breakfast.

We are the most creative place on the Space Coast and there is something for everyone. Read more about online. We also launched an online magazine, The Eau G, early in 2020.
