SEBASTIAN INLET — Visitors to Sebastian Inlet State Park will see some tweaks to the popular Night Sounds concert series starting next week, with evening events shifting to after-hours access on the park’s south side.
Effective Nov. 12, the south side of the park will operate from 8 a.m. until sunset, park officials announced Friday. That means concerts scheduled beyond that date will run as special nighttime gatherings, allowing attendees to catch live music beneath the full moon while the area is otherwise closed.
The changes come from the Friends of Sebastian Inlet State Park, the nonprofit group that sponsors the series. Admission will now cost $10 per vehicle, regardless of how many people are inside, can be paid in cash, credit or debit. Park passes or receipts from the north side won’t work for entry, since the south side shuts down at sunset.
Food trucks will be on site for the events, offering snacks and meals to concertgoers. Organizers said the adjustments align with updated park hours.
