In honor of National OJ Day Monday, the Florida Department of Citrus will throw a carnival-inspired affair from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Channelside Bay Plaza.

The Tampa event will celebrate the Sunshine State's native nectar with orange jugglers and juice samples, popcorn, music, chalk artists and giveaways.

According to the state Department of Citrus, Americans drink around one billion gallons of OJ annually. Additional juice gatherings are happening in Atlanta, Chicago and Boston throughout the day.
