BREVARD COUNTY • VIERA, FLORIDA — Watch live exciting Lucha Libre Wrestling at the Space Coast State Fair, every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the fair, which will run Oct. 30-Nov. 16 at Space Coast Daily Park in Viera.

Lucha libre is a form of professional wrestling that originated in Mexico and is characterized by masked wrestlers, aerial maneuvers, and a theatrical presentation that blends heroic and villainous characters in dramatic matches.

Spectators actively participate by cheering for the heroic técnicos and booing the villainous rudos. A key element of its tradition is the mask, which represents the luchador’s identity; losing one in a match is considered a severe and career-ending embarrassment.

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – We had our best Tourist Development Tax (TDT) collections ever this summer, with June through August totaling nearly $6.2 million, a 0.4% increase over the prior summer.

For the year, we are at $24.33 million, up 3% over the same time last year.

August Tourist Development Tax collections have come in at $1.770 million – a 4% decrease compared to last year’s August ($1.843 million) and a 3.7% increase compared to the August 2023 number of $2.214 million.

Looking at TDT by type, hotels represented 67% of the total.

Hotel TDT for the month was over $1.19 million, down 5.8% from the prior year. Vacation rentals were at 31% of TDT for the month. Vacation rental revenue for the month was $548k, down 1.6% from the prior year.

In terms of hotel/motel revenue by city, Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral were at 37% of the total for the month, and Melbourne and the Beaches were at 25% as a percentage of the total.

Looking ahead, September is tracking slightly behind last year’s September. If September comes in lower than last year, then we will just miss breaking through the $26 million mark.

However, we are still on track to beat last fiscal year and the 2022-23 fiscal year, when we had our best year ever of $25.54 million.

BREVARD COUNTY • VIERA, FLORIDA — The Space Coast Renaissance Fair is set for Space Coast Daily Park for two weekends in January 2026, promising an immersive journey into a world of knights, nobles, and adventure.

Celebrate the spirit of community and togetherness at Space Coast Renaissance Fair – come for the music, stay for the food, and enjoy the company of fellow festival-goers.

With a diverse lineup of artists, there’s something for everyone at Space Coast Renaissance Fair. Festival-goers can mark their calendars for January 10-11 and January 17-18 for a celebration full of tournaments, feasting, music, and laughter.

The Space Coast Renaissance Fair will be produced in cooperation with the Orlando Renaissance Fair production and management team, which has produced an outstanding festival for the last eight years.

In the tradition of Renaissance Fairs, there is always a themed story, and to set the stage for this fun event, officials released the following statement:

Hosted by Count Victor and Countess Celeste de Viera, the festival invites visitors to revel in a New Year celebration like no other. The Count and Countess have gathered the finest merchants, entertainers, and cooks from across the realms to ensure the event is an unforgettable experience for the whole family.

A highlight of the fair will be the arrival of the Sheriff of Nottingham, who comes to enjoy the legendary hospitality of Viera while collecting his monthly fee for defending the region from Robin Hood and his band of outlaws.

The Sheriff and his entourage will meet with the Count and Countess on the Chessboard Stage, where visitors can witness an exciting confrontation unfold.

Meanwhile, trouble brews as Robin Hood and his merry band uncover the Sheriff’s schemes. Accused of impersonating Robin Hood’s men to steal from the people of Viera and charging protection money, the Sheriff faces a formidable challenge. Attendees will have the chance to watch this epic rivalry play out in a battle chess spectacle, featuring beloved characters from the Robin Hood legends.

With live tournaments, delicious feasts, and engaging performances at every corner, the Space Coast Renaissance Fair offers a magical escape for all ages. Visitors are encouraged to dress in period attire, cheer for their favorite characters, and immerse themselves in the drama and excitement of Viera’s New Year celebration.

Experience the thrill of medieval jousts, captivating sword fights, and talented performers that bring the Renaissance era to life at Space Coast Daily Park. Come cheer on the brave knights and enjoy lively theatrical shows throughout the day!
