Happening This March: Coffee, Music, Arts, and Cacao Meet at Manila Coffee Festival 2024

Heads up, coffee lovers! The Philippines' pioneer annual coffee lifestyle event is back. From March 15 to 17, enjoy the perfect blend of music, art, and coffee at the Manila Coffee Festival 2024. Bonus! They are adding a unique blend of cacao, too.

The annual coffee festival in the Philippines celebrates one of the country’s prides: coffee and the farmers who grow it. Local performers and art exhibits are also featured to make the event more exciting.

Manila Coffee Festival’s mainstay highlight is also returning for the sixth year: The Single Origin Bar. This 20-foot bar serves coffees from all over the country through four different brewing methods, and this year’s roster will be the biggest one as it introduces ten more origins to an already dynamic lineup.

In addition, the Manila Coffee Festival 2024 will also showcase coffee’s sweet partner, cacao, in their new Cacao Alley. This new aspect will feature locally processed single-origin cacao, authentic chocolates from Maranaw, Sarangani, Cotabato, and Batangas, and sustainable products from Bonbon.

Attendees at this coffee festival may also enjoy performances from local artists such as Jikamarie, Leanne & Naara, Rangel, and more. Plus, art exhibits and practices at the art hall from local artists such as Mei Tayengco Tirano, mangwhawhato Ammin Acha-ur, and fellow mambabatok Sheila Wigan, Den Wigan, and Judy-Ann Palangdao, and more.

Manila Coffee Festival’s crowd favorite, KapeTalks, also returns, and they have just released their official lineup of talks and speakers. I Love Earth: Stories of Conservation, Baguilota Art Space: Sagada in Five Acts, and The Art of Competition: Inside the World of Coffee Competition on Day 1; What’s Next in Local Coffee, A Quick Guide to Brewing, and Doing Good Things for the Future on Day 2; and, Culture through Coffee, Music, Art, How to be the Ultimate Urban Gardener and New Grounds: A Different Kind of Coffee Experience on Day 3.

Manila Coffee Festival 2024 will be held from March 15 to 17 at the MGBx Convention Hall, Marriott Grand Ballroom, Newport World Resorts. Tickets for the coffee festival are still available at PhP350 for a regular single-day pass and PhP850 for an expresso three-day unlimited pass.
