BerettaFest 2023 Proposal - Space Coast Florida

Post by DUBS28 »

Floridas Space Coast would be the ultimate destination for BerettaFest 2023! Dubbed the Space Coast for being the home of America's Space Program with both NASA and SpaceX! Our telephone area code is even 321 We Have Liftoff! The Space Coast area spans 72 miles of sandy beaches from Cape Canaveral south to the Sebastian Inlet plus many areas to explore inland with rivers in-between. No guarantees but it's possible that there could be a rocket launch during your time here!

Check out this video to get a better idea.

Proposed Schedule:

-Wednesday:

3:00 - 6:00 Early bird registration

6:00 - 10:00 Kickoff party with Taco Night

-Thursday:

9:00 - 12:00 Registration

12:00 - 3:30 Ron John's Surf Shop & Local Shopping

3:30 - 6:00 Group Dinner at Grills http://www.grillsseafood.com/
Why so early you ask? To see the massive cruise ships up close and personal and watch them leave the port.

7:00 - 10:00 Cart Racing at Beachside Grand Prix https://www.beachsidegrandprix.com/

-Friday:

Option 1: (most recommend)
9:00 - 5:00 Kennedy Space Center
See everything about space exploration past, present and future! This option will take the better part of a full day and has a somewhat hefty price of admission($75 adult & $65 child) but I can look into a group discount. Definitely an amazing experience!

Option 2: Family
9:00 - 12:00 Exploration Tower
Located along the East Coast of Florida in Port Canaveral, Exploration Tower is a stunning architectural landmark providing visitors both fun and education. With seven floors of exhibits and interactive play, Exploration Tower includes something for everyone. Visitors will have access to our indoor and outdoor observation decks, nearly 5,550 feet of exhibit space, an auditorium, a café, a gift shop, and much more.
12:00 - 1:00 Quick Lunch Break
1:00 - 5:00 Brevard Zoo
Voted one of the top 10 small zoos in the US it is sure to please

Option 3: Adult (18+)
11:00 - 4:00 Victory Casino Cruise
It's a gambling cruise ship with slots and tables and live entertainment! Or just sit up on deck and enjoy the ride, soak in some sun and watch for dolphins. Feel that ocean breeze!

6:00 - 10:00 Group Dinner at Sandbar Sports Grill

6:00 - 10:00 Test & Tune / Grudge Races at Orlando Speed World is also a possibility for those interested but the track is a 45 minute drive away.

-Saturday:

AM - 11:30 Prep Cars for Car Show

12:00 - 4:00 BerettaFest Picnic and Car Show at Kiwanis Island Park

4:00 - 6:00 Group Cruise / Sunday Drive
Tour around the Space Coast to see areas you otherwise wouldn't have gotten to see.

Pack up all those memories and hit the road until next year.
