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.
