The Sebastian River Area Chamber of Commerce invites the community to come together for Grill Out Night: Summer Open House & America 250 Celebration on Friday, August 7th from 5:30 – 8:00 PM, a FREE, family-friendly event designed to support local businesses and celebrate community spirit during the slower summer months.

This lively evening will feature local businesses across Sebastian opening their doors after hours, creating a festive atmosphere filled with the theme of patriotic America 250 décor, special sales, door prizes, and complimentary food and refreshments. Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to explore, shop local, and enjoy a night of fun throughout the community.

“Grill Out Night is all about bringing energy into our local economy while creating a memorable experience for residents and visitors,” said Britney Melchiori, CEO of the Sebastian River Area Chamber of Commerce. “It’s a chance to showcase our incredible businesses and celebrate with the community what makes Sebastian such a special place.”

New this year, the event expands beyond traditional storefronts with the introduction of Grill Out Night Hubs, which are satellite locations hosted by participating businesses throughout the city. These hubs provide opportunities for Chamber members without physical storefronts, including home-based and out-of-town businesses, to join in by partnering with a host location to showcase their products and services.

Grill Out Night is more than just an event; it’s a community-wide celebration of local pride, small business support, and summer fun. Attendees can expect a welcoming atmosphere, unique shopping experiences, and plenty of opportunities to connect with neighbors and business owners alike. The official map of Grill Out Night Participants and their offerings will be published a few days before the event and will be available online to download and to pick up at the Chamber office located at 700 Main Street, Sebastian.
