The festival was founded in 2013, and this year, increased sampling and a commemorative ceramic sample cup will be available to visitors.
This year’s festival is expected to feature the largest roster of roasters to date, spanning statewide, according to the release. Local staples such as Estate Coffee Company and Merit Coffee Co. will be present.
