Sebring Chamber Visitor's Guide & Member Directory

Downtown Sebring has since been
designated a 1920s Historic District
on the National Register of
Historic Places.
Area pride and excitement was
revived in the 1950s when annual
international sports car racing
began at the airport, utilizing
many of the concrete runways
built during the facility’s years as
a military flight training base. The
world renowned Mobil 1 12 Hours
of Sebring Fueled by Fresh From
Florida continues today as the
oldest sports car race of its kind in
North America.
Like many central business districts
in America, downtown
Sebring suffered a slump in the
1970s that began to correct itself
a decade later. With an eye on the
future, the Sebring City Council
— through special legislation —
created the Community Redevelopment
Agency (CRA) to spearhead
development and improvements
in the downtown area. As a result,
Sebring was named a Florida Main
Street Community in 1966 and
subsequently invested more than
$20 million in renovations and
upgrades.
Today, downtown Sebring offers a
unique blend of shops, restaurants
and professional businesses, including
hometown newspaper “The
News-Sun,” which has documented
Sebring’s history for 96 years. All
are within walking distance of
Sebring’s Cultural Center, which
includes the public library, Sebring
Sebring Fire Station No. 14
Kile Brewer
Historical Society, Highlands Art
League, Highlands Museum of the
Arts, the Yellow House Gallery, and
Highlands Little Theatre.
Retail businesses continue to grow,
both downtown and along U.S.
27. An enclosed shopping mall
with five major anchor stores and
dozens of smaller businesses make
indoor shopping a great experience.
In addition to the mall, every need
from automobiles, insurance and
home furnishings to hardware,
building supplies, groceries and
antiques can be found right here at
home, where the economy is growing
and locals and visitors alike are
welcomed by our merchants and
professionals.
