The 31st Annual Coca-Cola Days will be held September 22nd and 23rd in Atlantic. The event is the second largest collector’s show in the United States and includes a tailgate barbeque open to the public, a Show, Swap & Sell, Coca-Cola themed raffle and many more activities for all ages.

The theme for the 2023 Coca-Cola Days is “An Iowa Classic”. The committee brainstormed ways to celebrate the theme through raffle items which include a Coca-Cola beach umbrella, bags game, and bag chairs.

A Classic Car Show & Shine has been added to this year’s festivities that will take place in the front parking lot of the Community Center from 9AM-2PM on Saturday September 23rd. Community members are encouraged to bring their cars to display while also walking through the Show, Swap, & Sell inside the Community Center building.

Kelsey Beschorner, Programs Director at the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce said, “We wanted to add something fresh to the event that went along with our theme, and we thought a Show & Shine would be just the ticket. To add a Coca-Cola twist to the event we will be offering commemorative Coca-Cola sunglasses to the first 50 attendees of the Show & Shine.”

Raffle tickets are available at the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce for $5 a ticket or 5 tickets for 20. The winner will be announced Saturday, September 23rd at 2 PM at the Show, Swap & Sell meet at the Cass County Community Building. Tickets will also be available for purchase that day.

T-Shirts for the 2023 Coca-Cola Days Celebration are also available for purchase. The shirts are heathered grey and feature the theme, “An Iowa Classic”. T-Shirts can be purchased for $20 at the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce or day-of at the Show, Swap & Sell Saturday, September 23rd.
