You can purchase a $5.00 Kona Coffee button that will act as your ticket to events throughout the whole Festival. (Children under five are free.)

The Kona Coffee Cultural Festival Lantern parade is tonight (November 1st) at 6 pm and over the next several days you can take part in many varied events. These include markets, art events, farm tours, plenty of tastings (of course), brewing workshops, contests, a scholarship competition and perhaps most interesting barista training! (Always helpful to be able to make a good drink!)
