Austin Coffee Festival 2026 - Day 1

Calling all coffee lovers—this is your chance to sip, sample, and celebrate! The 5th annual Austin Coffee Festival is back, bringing together the city’s top roasters, specialty exhibitors, teas, eats, and live entertainment for an immersive coffee experience at the Palmer Event Center. Whether you’re a casual sipper or a serious coffee nerd, this event has something for you.

Think about your ideal coffee event experience: this is it.

Difference between VIP and GA ticket:
You have a choice between VIP tickets and GA tickets. VIP tickets get you in an extra hour earlier than GA (General Admission) tickets, and you get to continue to enjoy the event during the GA session. YES, if you buy a VIP ticket, it includes the GA time too. That's the only difference between the two ticket choices per Session.

Buy tickets here before they sell out.

I purchased VIP 1/2 day tickets for this event. Saturday 9:00 am - 1:00 pm.
