San Antonio Coffee Festival Returns February 2026 With Roasters, Workshops, and Flavorful Fun
Coffee lovers from across Texas and beyond are gearing up for one of the most anticipated annual events in the city: the San Antonio Coffee Festival, brewing back into town on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at Civic Park at Hemisfair. This caffeine-fueled celebration promises more than just your average morning pick-me-up—it’s a full day of live music, hands-on coffee workshops, artisan food, and, of course, over 80+ varieties of coffee from 30+ roasters.
This year marks the festival’s return to San Antonio’s Civic Park, a scenic downtown destination that brings together locals and tourists for citywide events. The 2026 event is expected to be the biggest yet—and if history is any indication, it will likely sell out as it has for the past six consecutive years.
A Caffeinated Celebration of Culture and Community
For those who love discovering new flavors, supporting local roasters, and enjoying community events in San Antonio, this one-day festival offers a memorable way to spend a Saturday. The event runs all day with performances by local musicians including The Noah Peterson Quartet, Glad Hatter Jazz Band, Bexar Brass, Dub Gideon, Allwax, Blackbird Sing, and Claudette and The Guyz, all gracing the Civic Park Stage from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Meanwhile, AARP is hosting interactive workshops throughout the day, covering everything from the “History of Coffee” to “Roasting at Home,” “Coffee Cocktails,” and sustainability-focused topics like “Farming, Climate & Coffee Disease.” These workshops offer a hands-on, educational component for those eager to deepen their coffee knowledge—and participation is free with admission.
Ticket Details & Early Access Opportunities
Tickets officially go on sale January 1, 2026, but coffee aficionados can get a jumpstart on entry by registering with AARP for early ticket access. With demand high and presale tickets limited, early registration is highly encouraged for those hoping to sip and savor their way through the festival.
