Weekend Pass |
Looking for a ticket that provides the most flexibility and ultimate festival experience? Our weekend pass is here to make your experience more enjoyably caffeinated than ever! It’s a brew-tiful thing.
A Weekend Pass means you have the ultimate flexibility with the ability to attend BOTH Saturday and Sunday without having to buy two tickets. You’ll have access to demos, live music, the Latte Art Throwdown, and more each day. If Saturday isn’t enough time to do everything you want, come back on Sunday for another full round of tasting, demos, and shopping! You’ll hear different music, see different demonstrations, and have the opportunity to sample more products. Bagels served until 9am |
| 8am
VIP First Pour |
It smells like coffee! Kick off your festival day with early access from 8am–9am. VIP First Pour guests get to sample and shop before doors open to the public—meaning shorter lines, a more relaxed experience, and first pick of specialty chocolates, coffees, and artisan treats. Enjoy a calmer setting where you can chat with vendors, explore their offerings in detail, and ask any questions!

Early Brew |
Join us for brew-tiful beginnings – before the crowds form – to start your day with the best caffeine in the city! You’ll have a great start to the day and be able to have an early look at merchandise. On Sunday, it’s a great way to start your pre-Bengals game party! |
| 10 am & 11am
Morning Roast & Second Cup |
Come join the high-energy morning crowd! With unlimited samples, amazing live music, and fantastic demonstrations, this is Cincinnati at its caffeinated best. Cup of Joe, Cup of Joy! |

High Noon Brews & Afternoon Pour |
We’re having a latte of fun as we start the afternoon. You’ll perk right up with live music, unlimited sampling, amazing vendors, and demonstrations perfect for a midday relaunch!
Words cannot espresso how much you’ll see and taste at our afternoon sessions. |
| 2pm & 3pm
Decaf Afternoon & Final Roast |
As the day moves into the afternoon, this is the time to stroll at your own pace through a less crowded space. Spend time talking to vendors to find the brew that’s right for you, including lots of decaffeinated options. Don’t worry—there will be plenty of caffeine too! This is a great time to bring young children in strollers (children under 5 are free) as there is more room to maneuver. There are no pour choices here.
The Latte Art Throwdown begins at 2:15pm Saturday. |
