The Summer Concert Series is quickly approaching and Sebring is looking forward to another wonderful year! The Downtown Entertainment committee is very excited to welcome several new musical groups, as well as some great bands who have performed here in other years. These six Free Saturday Evening Concerts take place at Schreckengost Park in downtown Sebring beginning June 13th through August 22nd. This is made possible every year by a generous donation from Paul Schreckengost and the Schreckengost foundation.

As a reminder, the concerts each begin at 7 P.M., and end at 9 P.M. The intersection at the corners of 15th Street and Oregon Ave. are closed to traffic and the public should bring their own lawn chairs to sit on. As a courtesy to others, the committee requests no pets, bikes, or skate boards be permitted at the concerts.


 4th of July Fireworks
It's time once again to canvas the Sebring Community and surrounding areas to raise funds for the activities on July 4th. Your donations and support make this a successful and enjoyable day for the young and the old alike do you know that an estimated 10,000 people visit our firework display every year?
    This wonderful celebration would not be possible without the donations from people like you. Your generous contribution is greatly appreciated and very much needed in order to help make this years festival and fireworks display possible.
 This is an especially important this year for the board to raise funds through donations. Because of the financial situation of the village, the July 4th celebration, including the fireworks, will be self-supporting. All money raised through this campaign will be used exclusively for the 4th festival. Many, many Sebring families along
with out-of-town relatives spend this day together in  the parks. It would be unfortunate to forego this event. Community support is essential.
 
    Your decision to support the 4th of July festival will result in your name and your business name being printed in our program of events, showing our thanks and support. A reply by May 15th will ensure your name in print.
