Istanbul to host second Coffee Festival on board İDO ferry

The second Coffee Festival on Board is scheduled to take place on September 5-6, 2026, in Istanbul. The event will transform an İDO car ferry into a festival venue located at the Sirkeci İDO Pier.

Participants will have access to various activities, including specialty coffee tastings, workshops led by experts, and demonstrations of different brewing methods. The program also features DJ performances and music to complement the coffee experience.

The festival will operate in three sessions between 11:30 and 21:00. One of these sessions includes a 3.5-hour cruise around the Princes' Islands, allowing attendees to enjoy the Bosphorus view while participating in the festivities. During the other sessions, the ferry will remain stationary at the pier.
