2nd Annual Mcallen Coffee Fest

Get ready for an immersive coffee experience when the 2nd annual Mcallen Coffee Fest kicks off. Enjoy specially curated exhibitors, including RGV’s top coffee roasters, as they share with you some of the best coffee, teas, eats, and more, in the country. Want to learn more about coffee? Just ask the master roaster at their booth. But it’s all about the coffee vibes, right? Sway along to a soundtrack provided by some of the best bands and entertainment in the valley, while you taste endless coffee at the stunning Mission Event Center.

Difference between Early Admission and GA ticket:

You have a choice between Early Admission tickets and GA tickets. Early Admission tickets get you in an extra hour earlier than GA (General Admission) tickets, and you get to continue to enjoy the event during the GA session. YES, if you buy an Early Admission ticket, it includes the GA time too. That's the only difference between the two ticket choices per Session.

Session Times:

MORNING

Session 1 Early Admission : 9am – 10am

Session 1 GA: 10am – 1pm

Service Break

AFTERNOON

Session 2 GA: 1:30pm – 4:30pm

Difference between Morning and Afternoon: You can chose to attend Morning or Afternoon (or both!). There is no difference in the vendors for each day. The only substantive difference is the live music.

All Day Passes:  Don’t want to miss a thing? We wouldn’t want to either. A limited number of All Day passes are available for purchase. All Day passholders are allowed to enjoy BOTH sessions of the event day. They have in and out privileges, and are given the exclusive opportunity to remain inside the venue during the Service Break between the two sessions. Please note: It's important to make sure roasters are afforded the Service Break as an opportunity to rest and have a breather(!) between the two sessions. So, while there is not service between session times, we encourage you to use this time to chat with roasters and learn more about them and the coffee you’ve been enjoying, or grab a bite to eat from Gilley’s kitchen!

Coffee: Yes, coffee tastings from coffee vendors are INCLUDED. Find your favorite!

Eats: Yes too! pastry tastings as well, from the best valley bakeries are INCLUDED

Non-coffee-drinkers: we'd love to have you, and have non-coffee options for you to drink. Due to venue capacity, each entry requires a ticket.

Reusable cups: Yes, you are permitted to bring your favorite coffee mug!

Children: We LOVE kids, but we discourage their attendance due to the dangerous nature of the event for a child: hot beverages all over the place. It'd make us nervous for a child to be present and we disclaim all responsibility for a child's presence at the event. If you still want to assume the responsibility for bringing along your child, PLEASE keep a close eye on them. It is your responsibility to keep them safe. All children under the age of 13 do not need a ticket, but must be accompanied by an Adult.
