Florida Coffee Festival 2026 in Orlando Today: Hours, Tickets and the Festival Park Lineup

The facts first. The Florida Coffee Festival is today, Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Festival Park, 2911 E. Robinson Street, on the Colonialtown side of east Orlando. It is the festival’s third year, organized by Orlando Coffee Culture, and the format is a tasting: each booth pours a sample, and your ticket is a walk through more than 50 coffee shops, roasters and matcha brands from across Florida and beyond, as Orlando Shine reported in its preview this week. VIP entry begins at 10 a.m.
What is actually there
Beyond the tasting line, the day’s fixtures are the Florida Latte Art Throwdown Championship, cuppings and education sessions, local artists and makers selling alongside the coffee booths, and an espresso and matcha martini bar run by Bull & Bush. VIP tickets add early entry, complimentary parking and pedicab shuttles, a separate VIP area and food from The Gnarly Cuban, El Tinto and Nam’s Sando’s, per the festival preview. The festival’s weekend started before today: a Build Your Own Brewer competition on Friday evening at The Burrow Cafe in Mills 50, and a Beyond the Bar session on Saturday at Oh Hey Cafe on Lee Road — the Mills 50 corridor is this event’s home turf as much as Festival Park is.
Tickets and timing
Event listings this week put general admission at about $25, with some ticket tiers listed from $19.01 earlier in the sales window — prices vary by tier and purchase time, so check the festival’s ticket page before you set out rather than budgeting from this paragraph. The practical timing note comes from the listings themselves: the midday window, roughly noon to 2 p.m., is when the park fills. A resident’s play is either the first hour — in at 11, tasting while the lines are short — or the last ninety minutes, when the championship crowd thins. Festival Park is an outdoor venue; the day’s forecast is sunny, per this morning’s Weather desk report.
After the festival: the ranked version
A festival is a sampler, not a verdict. The Citizen’s scored version of the same question is our Best Coffee Shops in Orlando ranking — 36 candidates scored on public review data, 27 clearing the evidence bar — topped by Haan Coffee, whose story we tell in its winner feature. If a festival pour sends you looking for a regular order, that ranking is where to check whether the city’s reviewers agree with your palate.
