The Temple Chamber of Commerce is excited to host the third annual Polar Texas Bottling Summer Sizzle “Seltzer”. The event takes place on Friday, August 4, 2023, in the Santa Fe Plaza, 301 Santa Fe Way, in Temple. This free, family-friendly community event coincides with First Friday in Downtown Temple. It is an evening of live music, food trucks, an outdoor market, and fun for the entire family from 6:00 - 9:30 pm.

Polar Texas Bottling is bringing the “Chill” to Summer Sizzle “Seltzer” sharing their New England roots with Central Texas.

Founded in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1882 by a savvy bartender, Denis Crowley recognized an opportunity in carbonation as Prohibition began to rumble in New England. He crafted what he considered the best-tasting bubble recipe and began selling sparkling beverages from a horse-drawn carriage.

Today, Polar Beverages remains owned and operated by the Crowley family’s fourth and fifth generations, under the leadership of President and CEO Ralph Crowley Jr. They are the largest independent beverage company in the United States. They are purveyors of premium quality sparkling beverages, including Polar® Seltzer, heritage sodas, and Polar Orange Dry®.

Food trucks and vendors for the outdoor market will be set up along Santa Fe Way and in the Plaza beginning at 6:00 pm. Live music by Michael Carubelli Music will begin at 7:30 pm in the Plaza Greens. Lawn chairs or blankets are welcome to use while enjoying the music.

Michael Carubelli is an original Texas Artist - Singer/ Songwriter, based out of Central Texas. His music is a good time mixed with Country and Rock n' Roll. Michael first set off in 2012 with the release of his EP - Here We Go. Alongside a full band of brothers, they make up the Michael Carubelli Band. Together, they have shared the stage with many other Texas Music acts to include Aaron Watson, Brandon Rhyder, Roger Creager, Wade Bowen, Kevin Fowler, Eli Young Band, Kyle Park, Sean McConnell, Jon Wolfe, Whiskey Myers, Cory Morrow, Casey Donahew Band and many more. In 2018, Michael released his full-length album entitled, 'The Hustle'.
