The Siesta Key Community Fireworks celebration will return in 2026, continuing one of the region’s most anticipated and beloved Independence Day traditions. The Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce Seacoast Bank as the Presenting Sponsor for the 2026 event as the bank celebrates its 100th anniversary.
Held annually on Siesta Beach, the community-supported fireworks celebration draws thousands of residents and visitors to the island for a patriotic evening honoring Independence Day and celebrating community spirit. The event is funded entirely through sponsorships and community donations.
The support from Seacoast Bank will help ensure the continuation of the fireworks tradition and support the production of a high-quality fireworks display for the community to enjoy.
“For 35 years the Siesta Key Fireworks have been an important tradition for both residents and visitors, and we are thrilled to have Seacoast Bank join us as the Presenting Sponsor for 2026,” said Sarah Firstenberger, CEO, Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce. “Their support comes at a special time as they celebrate 100 years of serving local communities, and we’re honored to partner with them for this year’s celebration.”
As one of Florida’s leading community banks, Seacoast Bank has built a century-long legacy centered around community involvement and local partnerships. Their sponsorship reflects a continued investment in the areas they serve and in events that bring people together.
“We are proud to support the 2026 Siesta Key Fireworks as part of our 100th anniversary celebration,” said Mike Moschella, EVP, Market President, Seacoast Bank. “Community has always been at the heart of Seacoast Bank, and we’re excited to help continue a tradition that means so much to the Sarasota and Siesta Key community.”
The 2026 Siesta Key Community Fireworks celebration will once again light up the skies over Siesta Beach at dusk on July 4, 2026 and serve as a centerpiece of the holiday weekend on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
With Seacoast Bank leading the way as Presenting Sponsor, fundraising efforts continue to support the overall success of the 2026 fireworks celebration. Community members can support the event through direct contributions, and local businesses still have opportunities to participate through sponsorship packages.
“The fireworks display is truly a community - funded event,” said Firstenberger. “While we still have fundraising ahead of us to reach our overall goal, every donation and sponsorship helps make this celebration possible. Any additional funds raised allow us to create an even bigger show for the community to enjoy.”
