11th Annual Founders' Day

Field Manor is a historic 19th century homestead, museum, and wedding/event venue on the Indian River Lagoon operating as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, EIN 59-3517194, dedicated to preserving Florida’s pioneer past while providing education about East Central Florida native inhabitants and early settlers’ culture and customs. To further this mission, the Field Manor Foundation continues the Field family tradition to host a Founders’ Day celebration every spring.
This riverfront event was first celebrated on March 21, 1868, when the Field family arrived on the shores of Merritt Island and continues this year with the Field Manor Foundation’s 11th Annual Founders’ Day Fundraiser on Saturday, April 4th, from 11am-4pm.
Central Florida favorites’ HOT PINK will join us to entertain with live music; local guest food trucks will offer a variety of sweet and savory food options; the vendor market will showcase an array of locally grown and hand-made products from popular vendors, and our beer sponsor Bugnutty Brewing Co. will be pouring their local brews all day. (*Additional beer, wine, and seltzer options available at the Field Manor bar.) Plus, attendees can also tour the museum, bid in our silent auction, and try their luck with a 50/50 cash raffle.
*IDs required to purchase or pick-up drink tickets. No coolers or outside food/beverages.
Free admission for children 12 and under.
