The smell of freshly roasted beans is about to take over Palmer Events Center as the Austin Coffee Festival returns for its fourth year on Saturday, October 25 and Sunday, October 26. This weekend celebration brings together the best coffee roasters, brewers, and baristas from across the city and beyond for two days of tasting, learning, and connecting over Austin’s favorite morning ritual.
The festival is known for spotlighting local talent and independent coffee makers who define the city’s caffeine scene. Guests can sip through a curated lineup featuring roasters like Medici Coffee, Greater Goods, Creature Coffee, Merit, Intelligentsia, Barrett’s Micro Roast, and more than thirty others. Each brings its own spin on the perfect cup, from single-origin espresso to creative cold brews and plant-based blends.
Beyond endless samples, visitors can enjoy tea tastings, chai blends, snacks from local vendors, and live entertainment that keeps the energy as strong as the coffee. The festival will also host a latte art competition presented by the Austin Coffee Collective, where baristas go head-to-head for bragging rights and a five-hundred-dollar prize.
Guests can choose between VIP early entry, general admission, or an all-day experience, each offering plenty of time to explore, taste, and discover new local favorites. Kids under thirteen get in free with an adult, making it a family-friendly event that blends community and caffeine in perfect balance.
