ISTANBUL
Organizers of the Istanbul Coffee Festival said Thursday it will take place in Kadikoy from Sept. 11 - 14.
The Dream Sales Machine said the 11th edition of the festival, held under the motto: The Festival That Awakens the City, will bring together leading brands in the coffee world, local producers and independent initiatives with visitors, as it has every year.
Attendees will have the opportunity to experience hundreds of coffee varieties from around the world through free tastings and offerings during the four-day festival.
It will feature artisanal flavors, creative workshops, inspiring brand experiences, and vibrant musical performances, offering participants a rich and multifaceted program.
The president of Dream Sales Machine underlined the importance of hosting the festival in an easily accessible location.
"In a metropolis like Istanbul, the best way to meet coffee lovers is to offer this experience in a space where they can breathe and easily reach. This year, we are excited to reunite with the energy and spirit of the festival in Kadikoy, a place we’ve truly missed," Alper Sesli said in a statement.
Blending creative experiences centered around coffee with music, art and gastronomy, the festival was previously been hosted in iconic venues such as the Galata Greek School, Haydarpasa Train Station, KucukCiftlik Park, Tersane Istanbul and Atakoy Marina.
