Best of the Space Coast 2026
Every year, we turn to the Space Coast community to vote for their favorite businesses to be named the Best of the Space Coast.
We are happy to feature the winners who earned the “Best” in their categories.
Florida’s Best, Voted by You: Award-Winning Roofs, Family-Owned Values
For many people, a roof is primarily seen as a protective barrier overhead. But for David and Colleen Arambula of DC Roofing Inc., it’s a canvas for craftsmanship, dedication, and a manifestation of their family’s legacy.
Noteworthy
Aaron Collins, founder, conductor and artistic director of the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra, isn’t giving away secrets, but surely he must have discovered a way to clone himself.
Yo Ho Haunted
The Antilles Trading Company Maritime Pirate Museum and Store is not your run-of-the-mill pirate museum.

STORY LINES
Every morning, we never really know what will be headed our way. Nor do we know what we will have to do to, hopefully, come out laughing at the end. That’s what makes improvisational comedy — improv, for short — so relatable.
Emmy Winners Join Local Jazz Scene

Smoky, Sturdy, Satisfying
Collard greens have earned their place as one of the most dependable winter crops in Florida. They’re sturdy, unfussy, and remarkably productive from late fall through spring.
LAST LOOK – Winter 2026
A black skimmer, captured in remarkable detail at Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, glides effortlessly above the water’s surface.
A Season of Heart, Art and Community
As the holidays approach, the Space Coast once again reveals its best qualities — compassion, creativity, and connection. This season, our community shines not just with twinkling lights and festive décor, but with the warmth of people coming together to lift one another, celebrate traditions and create lasting memories.
From Ballet to Funk
For a heaping helping of holiday cheer, it’s hard to beat the Maxwell C. King Center for the Performing Arts, where everything from cirque to long-lasting, funky Tower of Power is themed around the jolliest season of the year.
Advancing Retina Care in Brevard County and Beyond
Florida Retina Institute has been at the forefront of specialized retina care, providing expert diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases affecting the retina, macula, and vitreous for more than four decades.
