It's safe to say that SpongeBob SquarePants holds a huge amount of sway with fans of all ages. Enough to merit a cameo at this year’s Superbowl, at the behest of a million-plus fans mourning the death of show creator Stephen Hillenburg.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants, the Tioga Sequoia Brewing Company in Fresno, California will be hosting a tribute to one of the most iconic TV series and characters ever created on Friday, July 19, 2019!
“I can honestly say SpongeBob has had an influential presence on me over the last 20 years,” Michael Cruz, president of Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Co., which hosts a tribute to all things SpongeBob at its beer garden Friday night, told The Fresno Bee.
Tioga’s SpongeBob event is being put on in conjunction with the arts collective Wyse Fools and Fresno Street Eats, and will feature a Krabby Patty Showdown (there’s a trophy and everything) along with a recreation of the Krusty Krab diner.
“We want to create an area for people to feel like they are eating their food at the actual restaurant, along with an area to take pictures with SpongeBob and Squidward,” says Anthony Gonzalez with Wyse Fools.
On the beer front, Tioga is offering a pineapple-themed beer slushie and two new SpongeBob-inspired brews: the Jellyfish Hunter Pineapple Gose and a Wumbo Pink Guava IPA. Both will be available on draft and in cans to go. There will also be limited-run glassware and T-shirts, Cruz says.
On-air, Nickelodeon celebrated the 20th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants with the debut of “SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout” on Friday, July 12, 2019, which kicked off the "Best Year Ever", Nickelodeon's year-long global celebration commemorating 20 years of SpongeBob SquarePants, one of the most iconic TV series and characters ever created, which includes the launch of the official SpongeBob SquarePants YouTube channel, brand-new merchandise and a app, and will lead up to the Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies theatrical, The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge, coming 2020.
