The Taste of Space: Fall Bites! Food Festival is returning to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, offering guests the chance to try some exclusive dishes that are sure to take their taste buds on a journey to the moon and back!
This year, the delicious event is taking place from September 30th until November 3rd, throughout the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Access to the food festival is included in the cost of regular admission tickets, with any food purchases at an additional cost.
There are some delicious-sounding dishes on the menu this year, all inspired by classic autumn flavours. Be on the lookout for treats such as:
- Harvest Bowl (Quinoa, tri-coloured potato, super greens, diced granny smith apples, goats cheese, and maple syrup) at Space Bowl Bistro
- Pear Galette with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream at Milky Way
- Chili with Lentils and Squash, and Cranberry Brie Moon Puffs with Honey and Toasted Almonds at Orbit Cafe
- Lamb "Meteor" Meatballs with Spiced Mint Marinara at Red Rock Grill
- Autumn Pizza (bacon, fig and habanero spread, squash, sweet potato, sopressata, cheddar cheese, and sage) at Moon Rock Cafe
Two separately-ticketed after-hours events are back this year too, the first of which is the Marstini Shake-Off on October 4th. Back by popular demand for a fourth year, this event sees local bars and restaurants compete to create their take on a ‘Marstini’, which is scored by a panel of astronaut judges. Guests will get to sample all the cocktails and mix and mingle with the chefs and astronauts.
The season will then go out with a bang with Taste of Space: Celebrity Chef Edition on November 2nd. Here guests can watch live celebrity chef demonstrations and tastings, while also getting the chance to meet some astronauts!
And this year there's a brand new event for guests to enjoy too; the Ice Cream Social, where the whole family can get involved and make an ice cream sundae masterpiece with the help of celebrity chefs! You'll even get the try a sweet treat frozen using liquid nitrogen. This event will finish the whole season on November 3rd.
