The Kona Coffee Cultural Festival is one of the biggest most delightful Fall events on the Big Island and it’s coming up fast!

The 54th annual Kona Coffee Cultural Festival takes place between November 7- 16 this year. It’s been going on since 1970 and celebrates the nearly two hundred years of Kona Coffee.

The festival includes all kind of events and fun things to do solo or in a group whether you love coffee or are just looking to have a nice time out!

Among the events are multiple local tours, some historical tours included, workshops. Coffee tasting (of course!) coffee brewing courses (naturally) art exhibits, parades, competitions and even a scholarship award! You can download a PDF of all the events on the website.

Its $10 for a Kona Coffee Festival button for the ten day event. Kids under 5 are free. All in all the event is a staple in Kona during the fall and there’s really something for everyone (even the non-coffee drinkers among us) so check it out if you get the chance.
