COCOA BEACH, Fla., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On Florida's Space Coast, a day can start with coffee and a rocket launch over the water, continue with adventures through space and sand and end with fresh seafood caught just offshore. Here, food is part of the experience of the destination, molded by its coastal identity, local ingredients and the people who call the Space Coast home.

This fall, the Space Coast's annual Fall is for Foodies culinary program runs through Oct. 25, bringing together more than 30 restaurants across the destination. The program features prix fixe menus, dining specials and limited-time offers.

Now in its 3^rd year, Fall is for Foodies has grown to include restaurants throughout the Space Coast, giving visitors and residents opportunities to try new restaurants and revisit local favorites. Participating restaurants range from casual coastal spots to chef-driven dining destinations.

"Food is one of the best ways to get to know a destination," said Peter Cranis, executive director of the Space Coast Office of Tourism. "Over the years, Fall is for Foodies has grown into a great showcase of the restaurants and culinary talent we have here. Whether you're planning a trip around a special meal or simply looking for somewhere new to eat while you're visiting, there's plenty to indulge in this fall."
