According to their official website, San Francisco Coffee Festival is “an immersive coffee experience.” Indeed, at this event, you’ll have the opportunity to dive into the coffee universe, getting acquainted with its planets and galaxies. Let’s see what we mean.
Venue
This coffee fest is held at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture—a major entertainment attraction point and a non-profit organization, which hosts many cultural events every year. And it's no wonder: the Center can boast a huge territory for thousands of visitors to fit in, at the same time, leaving enough room for food booths, drink isles, and industry-relevant shop zones.
Attractions
The administration annually invites top specialists on the market, such as baristas, roasters, sales reps, etc. So you’ll be able to talk to the real industry pros and get an inside look at how coffee is made and distributed. There will also be a bunch of coffee exhibitions, merchandise isles, and of course—tastings.
Tickets
Ticket prices kick off at $24 per day. In addition, there are two ticket options: general admission (GA) and VIP passes. The only difference between them is that with VIP tickets, you’ll be able to enter the event an hour earlier than the GA group. For more details, visit the event’s official website. Plus, don’t forget to book your accommodation beforehand as San Francisco is very busy this time of year.
