Amman Coffee Festival 2026: Everything You Need to Know

Here’s the complete rundown — everything you need to know about the Amman Coffee Festival 2026, kept up to date at amman.coffeefestival.me.

The basics

What: The 7th Amman Coffee Festival, themed “The Picnic” (قعدة قهوة) — Jordan’s biggest celebration of specialty coffee, reimagined as an open-air gathering on Balsam Grounds.

When: 20–23 August 2026 (Thursday–Sunday)

Where: Balsam Grounds (Balsam Exhibition & Festival Grounds), Amman, Jordan

Tickets: 5 JOD per person — online or at the door — includes one free drink

Hours

Live music lineup

Saturday’s Cairokee show is the headline draw — arrive early to get a good spot.

Experiences

Three hands-on experiences run across the festival:

• Be The Barista Lab — step behind an espresso machine and pull your own shot
• Coffee Cupping Lab — guided tasting session comparing multiple origins side by side
• Coffee Roasting Experience — watch (and smell) the transformation from green bean to roasted coffee

Plus: a full roasters’ village with Jordan’s best specialty coffee producers, cafés, and food vendors across the grounds.

Who it’s for

Everyone. Students, couples, young families, coffee professionals, curious first-timers. The crowd tends to be young, social, and overwhelmingly enthusiastic about having a great night out. About 60% female, all ages, all budgets (the 5 JOD ticket is genuinely one of the best-value nights in Amman).
