A new festival celebrating Greenville’s specialty coffee community will take place in February.
Greenville Coffee Fest will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Feb. 6 at Judson Mill located at 701 Easley Bridge Road in Greenville. LiveWell Greenville will produce the new one-day festival. Funding raised during the event will support the local nonprofit organization.
“Our coffee shops foster social connections, at a time when we need more of it,” said Kelly Weissmann, fund development director at LiveWell Greenville and co-director of Greenville Coffee Fest. “We want Greenville Coffee Fest to reflect that same care, and to celebrate the people who make our mornings better, one cup at a time.”
More than 20 local roasters, coffee shops and curated vendors are expected to come together for Greenville Coffee Fest. Attendees will enjoy complimentary coffee tastings, food, live entertainment, and limited-edition merchandise at the festival.
The announced roasters for the inaugural Greenville Coffee Fest include:
- Bridge City Coffee
- Coffee Underground
- Cohesive Coffee
- Cryptid Coffee
- Due South Coffee Roasters
- Flying Fox Coffee
- Grateful Brew
- Leopard Forest Coffee Company
- Methodical Coffee
- Other Lands
- Phin+ Coffee
- Reunion Coffee
- Third Place Coffeehouse
- Unlocked Coffee Roasters
“We believe in what our community, what Greenville’s unique specialty coffee scene has already built, and what sets us apart,” Weissmann said. “This fundraiser can become something that not only Greenville leans into, but an annual event that people will travel to Greenville to attend.”
Tickets to Greenville Coffee Fest will go on sale in November. LiveWell Greenville plans to announce additional vendors and entertainment for the festival in the coming months.
