Residents are eagerly awaiting the upcoming Sebastian Fourth of July festivities, which promise a fun-filled day with a parade, family-friendly contests in the park, live music, and a breathtaking fireworks display.
The day will begin with community floats going down Indian River Drive, showcasing patriotic floats, marching bands, and enthusiastic participants waving their American flags. Next, everyone will head to Riverview Park for contests, live music, and karaoke.
Then, at dusk, the community will assemble along Indian River Drive to watch the City of Sebastian’s spectacular fireworks show.
