These are trying times. Hawaii, along with our country and the world are facing unique challenges. After careful deliberation and discussion, the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival has made the difficult decision to postpone this year’s Festival and return for its 50th celebration November 5­ –14, 2021.

Due to the impacts of COVID-19, the 50th Festival was scheduled for November 4-8, 2020 with a modified five-day schedule. However, current health guidelines both locally, nationally and around the world no longer make this feasible.

“Our Board of Directors determined that a scaled back version of the Festival that complied with social distancing guidelines, would not be able to celebrate the 50 years of culture behind Kona’s famous coffee festival,” said Valerie Corcoran, Kona Coffee Cultural Festival President. “We look forward to welcoming festival goers to the 50th Kona Coffee Cultural Festival in 2021.”

The award-winning Kona Coffee Cultural Festival is recognized as the oldest and one of the most successful food festivals in Hawaii and honors Kona’s cultural heritage and recognizes the accomplishments of Kona coffee pioneers, farmers and artisans.
