The upcoming \"Celebrate Volusia\" event promises a day filled with free entertainment and community engagement, set to take place on Sunday, October 6th, from 2 PM to 5 PM at the Ocean Center. Attendees can look forward to a variety of activities, including the popular \"Touch a Truck\" exhibit, where children and adults can explore large vehicles and interact with local firefighters.
In addition to the truck exhibit, the event will feature a kids' zone with activities such as story time hosted by the Volusia County Library System, caricature artists, face painting, and performances by stilt walkers and magicians. A celebrity DJ, Renee Adams, will host games and giveaways throughout the day.
The event will also serve as a platform for community services, including voter registration and information about the Park Volusia program, which addresses beach driving and parking needs. Attendees can register for various giveaways, including hotel stays and local attractions, with prizes announced during the event.
Parking is free at the Ocean Walk Garage, and guests will be welcomed by live entertainment as they arrive. The Ocean Center will showcase local art and provide complimentary refreshments, including mocktails and snacks.
This initiative aims to strengthen community ties while highlighting the resources and services available to residents. With a free concert by the band Pablo Cruz as the event's highlight, \"Celebrate Volusia\" is positioned as a family-friendly gathering that combines fun with civic engagement.
