This was easily my favorite event of 2023.
Get ready for an immersive coffee experience when the 3rd Annual [Austin Coffee Festival](https://www.austincoffeefestival.com/) kicks off. Enjoy specially curated exhibitors, including Austin’s top coffee roasters, as they share with you some of the best coffee, teas, eats, and more, in the country. Want to learn more about coffee? Just ask the master roaster at their booth. But it’s all about the coffee vibes, right? Sway along to a soundtrack provided by some of the best bands and entertainment in Austin, while you taste endless coffee at the iconic Fair Market.
**Think about your ideal coffee event experience: this is it.**
**Difference between VIP and GA ticket:**
You have a choice between VIP tickets and GA tickets. VIP tickets get you in an extra hour earlier than GA (General Admission) tickets, and you get to continue to enjoy the event during the GA session. YES, if you buy a VIP ticket, it includes the GA time too. That’s the only difference between the two ticket choices per Session.
[Buy tickets here](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/austin-coffee-festival-tickets-746448416307?aff=ebdshpsearchautocomplete) before they sell out.
