Founders' Day
Fundraiser
April 13th from 12 pm to 3 pm
The Field family held a community celebration every year to spend time with their neighbors and friends, and we proudly carry on their tradition and invite you to join us!
Founders' Day is free to attend, and all funds raised through drink tickets, raffles, and more will be used to fund the ongoing restoration and preservation of Field Manor House, Packing House, and grounds.
Food trucks, mini-vendor market, yard games, raffles, and more!
Bring your picnic blankets, lawn chairs, and your friends and family.
Come enjoy a beautiful afternoon on the scenic Indian River!

FAQ's
Do you have onsite parking?
Yes, we do! We will also have parking attendants at Founders' Day, to help direct you to open spots. Traffic will be moving one way, so if you need to drop anyone off just follow the loop and come back in to park.
Can I Uber or Lyft to Field Manor?
Definitely! In fact, we encourage that so you can enjoy all the beers you'd like!
I want to bring my kiddos along, is that ok?
Please do! Field Manor is a wonderful place for kids to play and learn about the history of Brevard and Merritt Island's early settlers. We'll also have some yard games out and a table filled with artefacts, as well as a hands on archeological dig activity!
What's your address?
We are located at 750 Field Manor Drive, Merritt Island, Florida, 32953. Our approach takes you on a lovely drive through most of our 45 acres of land and is a half mile long, so just keep going until you get to a white house at the end and see the sparkling river in the distance!
Can I buy drink tickets in advance?
Not for this event, but we'll have them available for sale for the duration of Founders' Day!
Do you take card?
Yes we do! We also accept cash, and if you bid on a silent auction item and win, you may pay with a check if you'd like!
