May 21
On May 21, from 2:00PM-6:00PM, the Police Department will be hosting a Carnival style event at Chester Pruitt Park on Hollywood Blvd next to the Police Department. The event will be free to attend and will have games and activities for families and children. We are encouraging everyone in the community to stop in. We will be handing out snacks and candy. There will also be the B’s Smoking BBQ Food truck and the Krustee Krab food truck present. During the event we will also have a raffle, with various items. Tickets for the raffle range in price from $1-$5 depending on the item you bid for. We are excited to announce that we have just received an autographed guitar from Sheryl Crow to add to our list of raffle items. All proceeds from the raffle will be donated directly to the non profit organization First H.E.L.P. The non profit promotes mental health awareness and suicide prevention among first responders. They assist in counseling after responders are involved in critical incidents. They also provide support to families who have lost a first responder family member to suicide.

Explore Meso-American legends and mythology hidden in the sky as you take a trip through the cosmos during the ultimate planetarium adventure. Much like all our Sordid Secrets, this is an adult event, as those Mayan, Incan, and Aztec gods definitely didn’t keep things rated PG!
Our Planetarium is an inflatable dome. Guests sit on cushions on the floor of the planetarium to view the show. Due to size, space is limited to 25 patrons at a time. Purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended for this reason. On show nights, please arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled showing.

Seating is limited and very popular. We encourage purchasing your tickets in advance, as this is a first come, first served event. Please call 850-664-1261, stop by the Emerald Coast Science Center, or use our online ticketing option to purchase your tickets. See all events by clicking here.
