Located on the East Coast of Florida and nestled along the Indian River, Titusville is nicknamed Space City, USA.
From early rocket testing at the "Cape" to space shuttle launches at Kennedy Space Center, Titusville has had a panoramic front window to the space program.
High-tech aeronautics are relative newcomers in comparison to the early years of the area. Settlers took advantage of the many waterways for travel and fishing, and made the area famous for the large and delicious citrus crop that thrives in this semi-tropical region.
Outdoor Fun
Today, Titusville offers a variety of opportunities to its citizens and attractions for its many visitors.
The shoreline of the Indian River Lagoon is the perfect place to watch shuttle launches. Other major attractions include Kennedy Space Center Visitor's Center, the Astronaut Hall of Fame, the Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum, the Enchanted Forrest and Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge and Canaveral National Seashore, a 24 mile stretch of coastal beaches, dunes and wooded areas that have remained unchanged for nearly 500 years.
Area festivals include the annual Indian River Festival, the Titusville 500, the Valiant Air Command Air Show, the Hunt for Reds in October Fishing Tournament and the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival.
The cultural assets of the area include the Brevard Symphony Orchestra, the Emma Parrish Theatre and the Space Coast Philharmonic Orchestra.
