South Central Florida’s steam-powered excursion train returns to Clewiston in 2026 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.

Special requirements
Because of the unique railroad environment, all guests must wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes. Flip-flops, sandals, and high heels are not permitted.
Disclaimers
Our excursion train includes steep steps, narrow hallways and doorways, and small restrooms, which may present challenges for guests with limited mobility. Passengers should plan accordingly and contact us in advance to discuss any special needs or assistance.

Refunds or cancellations are only applicable 30 days before an event.
Refunds are not applicable in the event of missed or late trains. Passengers are responsible for being at the boarding site at least 30 minutes before departure time. Delayed and “No show” guests are not entitled to a refund. Reserved tickets will be released for resale 10 minutes before departure.
Any refund is subject to a 25% service charge and is only issued if there is a waitlist for that particular class of tickets.
