Coffee is taking over Concord! Well, only temporarily. Get ready for the Northeast Coffee Festival, happening Friday, May 16, and Saturday, May 16.
Co-hosted by Revelstoke Coffee and Wayfarer Coffee Roasters in Laconia, the festival will feature an outdoor community market with dozens of coffee and tea vendors, as well as numerous workshops, panels and hands-on educational opportunities for those looking to learn more about coffee as a craft.
The festival originated in Laconia in 2023 and immediately searched for a way to expand its reach. Founder Karen Bassett, who owns Wayfarer Coffee Roasters in Laconia, said she planned the two-day event to prioritize coffee and community. Wayfarer and Concord’s own Revelstoke Coffee, owned by Lyndsey and Alex Stoyle, host the weekend.
Complete with food trucks, coffee and tea vendors, mobile espresso bars, a kids’ play zone and live music from the New Hampshire Music Collective, the festival offers something for everyone. Coffee producers, roasters and importers from around the world will be in attendance.
