Florida’s premier functional beverage festival is set to take over the Coliseum on Saturday, July 11, 2026, bringing the High & Dry Festival to downtown St. Pete. According to I Love the Burg’s weekend roundup, the event is part of a packed summer lineup of local happenings, but it stands out as a signature stop for fans of innovative drinks and refreshment-focused fun.
The festival showcases the growing popularity of functional beverages, a category that includes drinks designed with added benefits beyond simple hydration. While the email doesn’t list the full schedule or vendor lineup, it makes clear that High & Dry is being billed as one of the weekend’s marquee events. The Coliseum setting should provide a lively backdrop for attendees looking to sample new products, connect with brands, and enjoy a social summer outing.
With the event taking place on July 11, it lands alongside other major local draws, including the Tampa Bay Rowdies’ International Soccer Night and the Future Form exhibition reception. For anyone planning a weekend in St. Pete, High & Dry Festival offers a distinctive option that blends beverage culture, community energy, and the relaxed vibe of a Florida summer afternoon.
