Historic Cocoa Village is the gorgeous restored downtown district of the City of Cocoa, which was originally settled in the mid-19th century. Today, the district has been preserved and renovated under the supervision of the Historic Cocoa Village Association and has become one of the premiere shopping, dining, and entertainment districts along Florida's Space Coast. Tree-lined streets are home to a wide variety of boutique stores, fine and casual dining restaurants, and entertainment venues, including the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse, which was originally opened in 1924 and hosts a full annual lineup of Broadway-style musicals.
At the Florida Historical Society, visitors can learn about the history, culture, and development of the Space Coast through a variety of permanent and rotating exhibits. Dining options range from casual British-style pubs and American-style pizza parlors to fine steakhouses, Mediterranean-style restaurants, and wine bars. Each year, the district hosts four annual Arts and Crafts Fairs, four Sip and Stroll wine and shopping events, and two annual Central Florida Car Shows.
