Sun Drop Festival Celebrates Local Heritage

Pulaski, Tennessee’s Sun Drop Festival isn’t just about the soda—it’s a vibrant celebration of local pride, history, and community spirit. Born from the 1947 opening of the Nesbitt Spur Bottling Company and the 1950s creation of Sun Drop, the festival honors a legacy that’s grown into a regional icon. Today, David Johnson’s family still runs the Sun Drop Bottling Company, keeping the tradition alive. Since its 2022 debut, the festival brings together artists, former workers, and fans for murals, stories, and the legendary two-liter chugging contest—where a dozen brave souls compete to prove their grit. It’s more than a drink; it’s a shared heritage, a taste of home, and a reason to gather. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
