Known as "The City on the Circle," Sebring extends guests the same warm welcome it has since George Sebring founded it in 1911. Archival records claim that Sebring’s "Circle Plan" for downtown was based on the design of Heliopolis, an ancient Egyptian City. Today, Circle Park and Circle Drive are the focal point for many community events and festivals. The area is ringed by shops and businesses of all types. It has an eclectic mix of fashionable boutiques, a pottery shop, restaurants, a tearoom and antique galleries, among other businesses, which make it an exciting and fun place to be. It is not uncommon to see visitors, arriving from the North or South by Amtrak, strolling the downtown area for bargains and specialty items.
Bed and Breakfast Inns and hotels provide accommodations for overnighters. All of them are within walking distance of Sebring’s cultural center, the Sebring Historical Society, Highlands Art League and Museum and the renown Highlands Little Theater, where Prime Rib just doesn’t get any better. The Sebring Historical Society displays an outstanding Saber Tooth Tiger Mural painted in 1941 by Charles R. Knight, a respected artist, paleontologist and scholar of prehistoric animal life.
For recreation, you can enjoy a round of golf at one of Sebring's 13 golf courses, some of which are championship ranked. Community programs offer team sports such as football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer and swimming. Tennis, racquetball, bowling, horseshoes, horseback riding and canoeing are also popular pastime sports enjoyed by many.
