Sebastian offered a slice of Americana at its best, with a patriotically-adorned, flag-waving crowd lining Indian River Drive to watch the 44th Annual 4th of July Parade hosted by the Lions Club of Sebastian and the City of Sebastian.
The morning began with a Substance Awareness Center of IRC 5K Run/Walk and was followed by the popular parade, featuring military/veterans groups, scouting, church and civic organizations, police and fire departments, bands – including the wonderful SRHS Marching Sharks band – plenty of candy thrown from floats and, this being an election year, an abundance of politicos.
The all-day festivities in Riverview Park concluded at dusk with a spectacular fireworks display over the lagoon.
