South Central Florida’s steam-powered excursion train returns to Clewiston in 2027 with two distinct experiences during the Clewiston Sugar Festival — one spirited, one family-friendly, both wrapped in old-fashioned railroading charm.

The SUGAR FEST SPRITZER is a relaxed, two-hour evening excursion through the surrounding farmland, designed for guests looking to sip, stroll, and savor the ride. All First Class tickets include light refreshments, snacks, and appetizers, with additional beverages available for purchase on board.

The SUGAR FEST LOCAL offers 1.5-hour roundtrip excursions from Clewiston, perfect for families, festival-goers, and anyone wanting a taste of steam-era railroading.

From the steady cadence of the rails to the drift of steam drifting across the cane fields, Sugarfest Train Rides are less about getting somewhere and more about remembering how travel used to feel.
