With its pastel-painted, historic buildings, colorful murals, and sidewalks lined with palm trees, Downtown Melbourne combines a beachy vibe with locally-owned boutiques, restaurants, and bars. The atmosphere is fun-loving and carefree, but this is much more than a resort town. Downtown Melbourne is the business core of the Space Coast with major employers like the nearby Space Center, Rockwell Collins, Northrop Grumman, and Harris Corporation.
High-tech industries and charming shops aside, Downtown Melbourne is also minutes from the beaches along what's called the Space Coast -- cross the bridge over the Indian River and you'll discover a strand of white-sand beaches and crashing waves. After a day at the beach, residents of Downtown Melbourne can visit Meg O'Malley's Restaurant and Irish Pub, a local favorite, or they can catch a show at the Henegar Center for the Arts. Downtown Melbourne is the site of many events, including the Downtown Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, the Melbourne Arts Festival, and the Main Street Friday Fest.
