About Cups of Culture: Great American Sip Trip 2026

In 2026, America turns 250 and Junction City is celebrating with a journey worth taking.

Cups of Culture: Great American Sip Trip 2026 invites guests to “cruise” through downtown on a road-trip-style experience inspired by America’s highways, heritage, and cultures. Much like a classic cross-country drive, each stop along the route represents a different region of the nation, served up through curated sips, stories, and shared moments.

Event Information

Date: Saturday, April 18th, 2026 from 4-8 PM

Guests will hop from stop to stop, exploring downtown the way Americans have always explored this country: on foot, with friends, fueled by curiosity, connection, and an open-road mindset.

This is a once-in-a-generation celebration! A modern nod to roadside America, classic cars, and the journeys that shaped who we are. Cups of Culture creates an immersive experience that feels timeless, intentional, and unmistakably American.

As a sponsor, your business becomes part of this historic road trip, aligned with a nationally significant milestone!

Join the Fun!
