Ibagué Coffee Festival 2026 draws 100 exhibitors from five nations

From July 17 to 19, 2026, the Plaza de Bolívar in Ibagué will host the Ibagué Coffee Festival, the seventh edition of the event aimed at promoting specialty coffee and expanding market opportunities for Colombian growers. The three‑day fair will feature 100 exhibitors, including 65 local coffee growers, delegations from five foreign countries, representatives from five Colombian departments, four municipalities and the Tolima regional government.

Key activities include an international business agenda with a micro‑lot coffee auction where the ten best coffees will be bid on by more than 40 national and international buyers. Additional coffee tastings, barista demonstrations, filtration‑method competitions, and workshops on innovation, sustainability and quality will be offered to both industry professionals and the general public. The festival will also launch its official commemorative cup, priced at 12,000 Colombian pesos.
