Running until January 2, the festival offers exhibition areas, coffee and food tasting sites, a coffee music night with mountain essence, and Christmas and New Year's Eve countdown to 2026.

Addressing the opening ceremony, Nguyen Van Loc, Director of Lam Dong province’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said coffee is a key economic product and a cultural symbol, a living heritage associated with the history, life and identity of many countries.

“Through experiential spaces, exhibitions, cultural exchanges, and international conferences, the festival will create an open forum where Vietnamese coffee is placed within the broader context of the world's coffee heritage. We hope the festival will become a prestigious annual event, bearing the distinctive mark of Lam Dong, and a meeting point for coffee enthusiasts from around the world,” Mr. Loc said. 

During the festival, the Vietnam-World Coffee Alliance will be announced, opening up opportunities to strengthen international cooperation and promote the sustainable development of Vietnam's coffee industry.
