A street march, featuring 18 brigades, including all members of Sebastopol CFA will be held on Albert Street from 8pm on Friday.
Treasurer Tony Brady said it would kick off three days of celebrations which will also include a commemorative dinner on Saturday night and an open day on Sunday.
“We will have marchers made up of a number of urban and rural brigades and our current membership as well,” he said.
“We’ve invited some of our older members to come along and join us for the night.
“Hopefully they’ll be able to participate alongside us as well.
“The chief officer of the CFA Steve Warrington will also be in attendance and he’ll be taking the salute in front of the old shire offices, because this brigade has had a long history with the Sebastopol council where the money for the creation of the brigade originally came from.”
