Tickets are on sale now for The Cincinnati Coffee Festival, set for Oct. 25 and 26 at Music Hall. The event is a benefit for the Ohio River Foundation.

“After all, without great water, you can’t have great coffee,” said Rich Cogen, executive director of Ohio River Foundation.“With thousands of attendees, the Cincinnati Coffee Festival has grown into a can’t-miss event for coffee and tea lovers in the Midwest,” said Cogen.

The event will feature more than 55 vendors, with the chance to learn about the art of coffee making, sample exceptional teas, taste fine chocolates and baked goods, hear live music, and watch the Latte Art Throwdown. 

During the Latte Art Throwdown, baristas vie for the title of Cincinnati’s top latte artist. Attendees can also try their hand at creating latte art at Latte Art in Action, with a professional barista demonstrating the steps and skills .

As the premier caffeinated event in the Midwest, Cincinnati Coffee Festival is a major fundraiser for Ohio River Foundation, a Cincinnati-based nonprofit with successful programs dedicated to protecting and improving the water quality and ecology of the Ohio River and its watershed. Coffee has a natural connection to that mission.

The event also allows attendees to meet vendors, browse their goods, and sample their wares. After they’ve sampled their way through the event hall, attendees can then buy their favorites to take home. 

New this year, all guests will receive access to the Virtual Swag Bag, with specials both at the event and afterward. The Festival also has introduced Last Cup pricing with lower prices in the afternoon, when crowds are smaller.
