The Sebastian Kids Festival turns Riverview Park into one big playground, with a full day of free-spirited fun built entirely around families and kids. Hosted by the City of Sebastian along the Indian River waterfront at 600 US Highway 1, the festival fills the park’s shady oaks and open lawns with bounce houses, games, face painting, craft stations, costumed characters, music and plenty of room for little ones to run.
What makes this one special is the community feel. Local organizations, youth groups, first responders and small businesses set up booths with hands-on activities and giveaways, so kids get to climb on a fire truck, make something to take home and meet the people who keep the city running. Food vendors and snack trucks keep everyone fueled, and the riverfront breeze makes the whole thing surprisingly comfortable even on a warm Florida afternoon.
Riverview Park is the heart of Sebastian, within easy walking distance of the riverfront shops and restaurants, so it is simple to make a day of it. Strollers and wagons are a good idea, along with sunscreen, water bottles and comfortable shoes.
