An afternoon of sips, sounds, and sunshine benefiting Opportunity Place
The highly anticipated Seltzer Festival is back and set to take over The Market Shops on Saturday, May 2, 2026 from 1 to 4 p.m. This lively, coastal event will bring together locals and visitors alike for an unforgettable afternoon featuring seltzer samples, light bites from local restaurants, live music, and more.
Guests will have the opportunity to sip their way through a wide variety of seltzers from national and regional brands, with tasting stations offering 2 oz. samples poured by event volunteers. The festival is expected to draw 300–400 attendees, creating a vibrant atmosphere in the heart of the Emerald Coast.
More than just a tasting event, the Seltzer Festival is proud to support a meaningful cause. The event is hosted by Opportunity Place, a local low-barrier homeless shelter dedicated to keeping families together while helping individuals transition into stable housing and self-sufficiency. 100% of proceeds from the festival will directly benefit Opportunity Place’s programs and operations, making every ticket purchased a step toward changing lives in the community.
In addition to general admission, a limited number of VIP tickets will be available, offering guests an elevated experience with exclusive perks and access to a private VIP tent featuring enhanced food offerings.
“The Seltzer Festival is about bringing the community together for a fun, high-energy event while supporting an incredible local organization,” said event organizers. “We’re excited to partner with The Market Shops as our venue sponsor and to showcase a wide range of seltzer brands, local restaurants, and live entertainment—all for a great cause.”
Sponsorship opportunities are currently available for brands and businesses looking to gain exposure while giving back to the community. Interested sponsors can inquire by emailing opportunityplacefwb@gmail.com.
