evian, the premium natural spring water brand sourced from the French Alps, is celebrating its bicentennial with a yearlong '200 Years Young' campaign that includes an immersive one-day celebration in New York City on August 27, as well as a nationwide sweepstakes offering consumers the chance to win a trip to the brand's source in Évian-les-Bains, France.
The '200 Years Young' New York event, hosted in Brooklyn's DUMBO Archway and coinciding with the US Open, will feature interactive installations, French-inspired cuisine, live entertainment, and surprise guest appearances. All of these features are designed to transport attendees to the Alpine origins of the water, which is naturally filtered through glacial rocks for over 15 years before emerging at the Source Cachat spring. The sweepstakes grand prize includes VIP access to the New York celebration, courtside tickets to the US Open, and a stay at the legendary Hôtel Royal in France.
