The Amphitheatre at Veterans Memorial Park
The amphitheatre outdoor event complex is located in Veterans Memorial Park on Merritt Island.
The amphitheatre was conceived through a partnership in the late 2000s when the Brevard County Parks and Recreation Department received an $800,000 grant from the State of Florida Communities Trust for Veterans Memorial Park Improvements, and MIRA contributed $400,000 towards the expansion. Most recently, MIRA was successful in obtaining a $1.3 million grant from the Brevard County Tourist Development Council, matched by a $1 million investment from MIRA to complete the amphitheatre project.
Since 2017, MIRA has committed more than $4.68 million dollars in funding for the enhancement opportunities and amphitheatre infrastructure. These enhancements are currently in the final design stages, then permitting review, bidding, and construction. A scheduled completion date is early-mid 2025.
The park and its amenities, including the amphitheatre, will be operated by Brevard County Parks and Recreation.
This capital project is supported by the Brevard County Board of Commissioners and the Space Coast Office of Tourism.
