ECSA July 4 Cruise to Cocoa Village

            Please join us for the annual cruise to Cocoa Village for the July 4th Fireworks and Symphony extravaganza. You can come by boat and either anchor out or take a slip at the Cocoa Village Marina or the new floating T-docks at Riverfront park. From there you can enjoy the shopping and dining in Cocoa Village. On July 4th itself we will be having a Bring-Your-Own dinner, along with Bring-Your-Own plates, glasses, utensils, etc.  Dinner will be at the Cocoa Village Marina clubhouse with hot coals on the grill for you to enjoy your favorite deceased animal (within reason). As the sun sets we can set up our chairs and watch the fireworks over the Indian River.

Saturday 3rd: Arrival.

            If you come by boat you can reserve a slip at the Cocoa Village Marina (CVM) (321-632-5445) or try for the new floating community docks of Cocoa Riverfront Park (28o21.289’N 080o 43.312’W). From there it's an easy stroll into the Village. Upscale dining at Café Margaux, Pizza at Ryans (with a great view of the river) or German Food at the Bier Garten and Thai food opposite. Fancy buying a cannon for your boat? We have a pirate's shop in the village that can help you. Alternatively, you can anchor out close to Riverfront park and use the public Dinghy docks down from the boat ramps, or go under the 520 bridge and anchor starboard of the CVM channel.
