Malaysia's diverse coffee culture, alongside food, music, and tourism attractions, will take center stage at the inaugural Ipoh Coffee Vibes festival from September 10-13, according to State Tourism, Industry, Investment, and Corridor Development Committee chairman Loh Sze Yee. The festival, located at Riverfront Old Town Ipoh, near Jalan Sultan Iskandar, aims to attract around 40,000 visitors.
Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy performances along Sungai Kinta while sampling offerings from 50 food and beverage stalls. In addition to showcasing Ipoh's signature white coffee, the event will promote the city's rich cultural tapestry by highlighting the coffee traditions of different races. Participating coffee entrepreneurs will introduce Kopi Rakyat, a specially curated blend for the festival, allowing attendees to experience various flavors and price points.
Visitors who spend at least RM50 will be entered into a lucky draw for vouchers to spend at the festival, while those who spend RM100 or more can redeem special edition souvenirs.
