Have you entered the Dark Garden 🐦‍⬛

Keeping the art in EGAD takes a community. It takes showing up, buying local, attending events, supporting artists and choosing to invest in the people and places that make this district unlike anywhere else.

And if you haven’t experienced it yet, The Dark Garden is Brevard’s choose-your-own-adventure haunted attraction, created right here in EGAD. The Dark Garden is for ages 18+ (or under 18 with an accompanying adult).

🎃 But families get their turn, too! Join us for the Not So Dark Garden on October 24 during Halloween in the District for a family-friendly version of the experience.

Come wander EGAD. Support the arts. Support local businesses. Support the organizations and people who keep this little corner of Brevard unique, cool, creative and fun.

We wandered into Verdi EcoSchool to chat with a few of the artists and creators behind The Dark Garden — and honestly, this is what makes EGAD, EGAD. 🎨🖤

It’s the artists who turn an idea into an experience. The makers, creatives, small businesses, nonprofits and organizations who keep dreaming up things that are a little different, a little unexpected, and a whole lot of fun.

🐾 About last Friday night.

October First Friday brought the Mutt Strut back to Eau Gallie Square and despite the Florida heat, you showed UP. 🥵🐶

The creative costumes.
The big personalities.
The crowd cheers.
The happy dogs.
The people who came out just to be part of it.

It takes a community to build a community and nights like this are why we keep showing up 💜

A huge THANK YOU to:
🦁 for sponsoring the 2026 Mutt Strut and supporting our community.
🛍️ Our local pop-ups for bringing their creativity, energy and life to the Square.
🎤 Our host + judges for giving their time and helping make the Mutt Strut so much fun.
🐾 volunteers + fosters for taking time out of their already very busy schedules to join us and for everything you do every day to save lives and give these pups a second chance. Be sure to visit their page to learn more about their work and how you can support them.

And to everyone who came out, cheered from the sidelines, brought a pup, supported a local business, shopped a pop-up or simply spent your Friday night in EGAD… we thank you for being part of it.

We already can’t wait to see everyone strut their stuff again next October First Friday. 🐾✨
But first...

🤠 NOVEMBER 6 — SPACE COWBOY
Dust off those boots. We’re taking First Friday to the wild west with a cosmic EGAD twist.
See you there. 🌵✨
