Brooklyn SeltzerFest 2025 celebrates everything related to (non-alcoholic) seltzer water and related effervescent topics, an event filled with vendors, activities, dynamic presenters, music, and exciting competitions.

Brooklyn SeltzerFest is produced by the Brooklyn Seltzer Museum, a new non-profit cultural institution dedicated to preserving and promoting the effervescent history of seltzer water.

Located within the oldest seltzer works in New York City—a local, family-run business now in its fourth generation—the Museum celebrates the manufacturing of seltzer, the science of seltzer, and seltzer as a cultural force in New York City and the world beyond.

THE NATIONAL EGG CREAM INVITATIONAL

For National Egg Cream Day on March 15th, 2024, before a sold out audience, the Brooklyn Seltzer Museum hosted soda jerks from the best soda fountains in New York City’s five boroughs and beyond.

They competed in The 2024 National Egg Cream Invitational to settle the argument on how to make the best egg cream once and for all.

The grand prize winner of the Golden Siphon was won by the Franklin Fountain, a classic soda shop from Philadelphia. Shocking the local New York City crowd, they took home the gold plated seltzer siphon and claimed the title of best egg cream in the nation.

In 2025, who will win the Golden Siphon? Will it return to New York or remain outside the Big Apple?
