From October 20 through 26, we celebrated Florida City Week. Held annually in October, Florida City Week is a weeklong event when Florida’s cities celebrate, showcase, and engage citizens in the work of municipal government. Florida City Week is a time for municipalities to foster civics education, collaboration, volunteerism, and more.
We celebrated by hosting a “Cookies with the Council” event, allowing residents to meet and speak with City officials. At the City Council Meeting on October 22, 2025, City of Sebastian Mayor Bob McPartlan issued a proclamation, recognizing Florida City Week 2025.
CITY CLERK
Nestled in the heart of Sebastian, our Municipal Cemetery provides a serene and dignified resting place for loved ones. Surrounded by well-kept grounds and shaded by Florida’s natural beauty, it stands as a peaceful reflection of the community it serves.
Our goal is to make this process as gentle and stress-free as possible. Whether you’re making immediate arrangements or planning ahead, we’re here to offer guidance, understanding, and compassion every step of the way.
Sebastian Municipal Cemetery offers: Traditional Burial Plots – Single or companion spaces in peaceful, tree-lined sections. Cremation Niches or Garden Spaces – For those choosing cremation, we offer tranquil areas designed for quiet reflection.
At Sebastian Municipal Cemetery, we believe every life deserves a peaceful place of remembrance. One that reflects love, legacy, and belonging. We are honored to serve you and your family with compassion and care.

This new aircraft movement surface will connect the northwest portion of the airfield to the midfield area, providing alternative aircraft taxiways to navigate around the airport. This taxiway is the first phase of the planned growth in capabilities at Sebastian Municipal Airport. The next phase will be an aircraft parking apron adjacent to the new taxiway, followed by infrastructure such as power, water, and sewer to support future building for businesses and tenants.
