The Trail of Coffee in North Vancouver

Are you a coffee lover? Have you ever wondered how coffee is made? Do you like events with live music and socializing? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the Trail of Coffee event is definitely something to check out!

The Trail of Coffee is a one-day event in the third week of April in 2024. It’s an experience full of coffee-related activities. The event includes interactive exhibits and workshops that help guests understand the process of creating coffee. There’s also a Latte Art Contest with talented baristas pouring designs on lattes. There are various tastings as well as a coffee-themed Mixology Show to enjoy. The event also includes networking opportunities, coffee cocktails, coffee-related market vendors, and live music by Son D’Talle and LuiFox.

The Trail of Coffee is presented by Latincouver which is the same non-profit organization behind other great events with a Latin American theme, like Carnaval del Sol in the summer and Latin American Heritage Month in the fall. (If you like Latin American music, food and culture, you’ll want to check out these other events too!)
