About the Festival
Certain tastes, smells and sights bring us back to our childhood, and soda pop is often one of those tastes that brings along fond memories. Cooling off on a hot summer day with a root beer float, or a sharing a cola at the drug store fountain with friends, are the types of nostalgic moments you’ll be transported back to at the Sebring Soda Festival. This new and exciting event is a unique opportunity to showcase the small town feel of the beautiful downtown Sebring area while promoting a family-friendly event that everyone can enjoy. With hundreds of craft sodas available for sampling, along with a classic car show, live entertainment, art and craft vendors, pop-up retail storefronts, a variety of food options, a kid’s zone, and more, we will bring back vintage fun for all ages.

Why Participate in a Craft Soda Festival
As one of the largest growing beverage segments, craft sodas are continuing to gain popularity. Craft sodas are brewed in small batches and contain natural ingredients, including nature-based sweeteners like pure cane sugar, stevia, and honey. This festival is one of only a few craft soda events in the U.S., and downtown Sebring is home to Sebring Soda & Ice Cream Works, which carries 350+ craft sodas in the store. Craft sodas are a stronghold in the millennial generation, and the vintage brand sodas, like RC Cola and Dad’s Root Beer, are popular in the baby boomer generation. Advertising with the festival opens doors to opportunities with numerous markets, including families, decision makers, business owners, retirees and more.
