An upcoming coffee festival is scheduled to take place in Istanbul on September 5-6, 2026. The event, titled ‘Coffee Festival on Board’, will utilize an İDO car ferry stationed at the Sirkeci İDO Pier as its venue.

The festival will offer specialty coffee tastings, expert-led workshops, and brewing demonstrations, alongside DJ performances and music. Activities are organized into three sessions between 11:30 and 21:00. One session includes a 3.5-hour cruise around the Princes' Islands, while the remaining sessions will be held while the ferry remains stationary at the pier.
