It’s hard to think of celebratory, fun things to do when pain persists over the massacre in Orlando last Sunday. So join hearts and hands at a special candlelight vigil from 7 to 10 p.m. tonight in Eau Gallie Square when the Space Coast Pride presents a vigil in honor of the victims, their friends, their family and the entire community.

Here’s the list of area cultural offerings this weekend. Again, please show your appreciation of those institutions supporting BREVARD CULTURE by clicking onto their ads on the right side of this web page.
