Attention, coffee lovers! An all-new festival celebrating your favourite beverage is coming to North Vancouver this spring, and you won’t want to miss it. Presented by Latincouver, the ‘Trail of Coffee’ showcases the journey of our coffee from “bean to cup,” connecting guests with coffee-growing regions in South and Central America through engaging exhibits.

As well, guests will be able to enjoy latte art demonstrations, coffee tastings, and live music!

About the festival

The ‘Trail of Coffee’ will feature presentations on how coffee is cultivated, harvested, and processed, and how we can ultimately brew it in more mindful ways.

“Leading up to Earth Day on April 22 is the perfect time for coffee lovers to gain a deeper awareness of how this important crop arrives in our cups — and to have fun doing it!” says Paola Murillo, executive director of Latincouver.
