The Space Coast Key Lime Pie Festival will feature its popular Cute Baby Contest this Saturday and Sunday at the Brevard County Fairgrounds. The event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days, includes pie tastings, live music, and craft vendors, but the contest has become a local highlight. Parents can submit photos of their babies aged 0 to 12 months for judging in categories like 'Most Adorable Smile' and 'Cutest Outfit.' Entries must be received by 3 p.m. each day at the festival's registration tent. Winners will be announced at 5 p.m. daily and receive prizes including gift cards and key lime-themed merchandise. 'It’s a fun way for families to participate and see their kids shine,' said festival organizer Lisa Martinez. The contest is free to enter, though attendees must pay the general admission fee of $5 per person. Judges will evaluate entries based on originality, clarity, and the baby’s expression. Previous winners have included infants wearing homemade key lime pie costumes and babies posing with local landmarks. The festival also offers a pie-eating competition and a marketplace for handmade goods. Martinez emphasized that the contest is about celebrating community and lighthearted competition. 'We’ve had some unforgettable entries over the years,' she said. The event has drawn thousands of visitors annually, with the baby contest often drawing the most social media attention. No prior photography experience is required, and photos can be taken at the festival or submitted from home. Prizes are sponsored by local businesses, including a nearby bakery and a children’s clothing store. The festival organizers encourage early arrivals to secure a spot in the contest, as entries are limited to 50 per day. The event is held at the Brevard County Fairgrounds, 1000 E New Haven Ave, Cocoa. For more details, visit the festival’s website or check social media pages.
