Yes, you read it right: Bonifacio Global City’s (BGC) Coffee Festival is back! From its first event last year, the festival now also caters to arts and cycling enthusiasts.

There are tons of activities you can enjoy on March 18 and 19 at the High Street South. If you are a coffee lover, you can gain the experts’ secrets through the festival’s Growing Coffee Culture talk session, and their outdoor brewing session. Even more, the festival has invited coffee shops and brands so that you can choose your preferred brew and brand.   

Since BGC is known as a haven for bikers, they included bike shops like R.O.X, adidas, 2Wheel Nation Cycling, Specialized Philippines, Built Cycles, Blocks, Passe, Everyday Camo, The Breakaway, and  Team ABC, to improve biking experiences.  

And of course, what's a festival without music? Pedicab, Party Pace, The Espasouls, The Buzzer Beaters, The Diegos, and DJ Honey are also set to perform this weekend for the crowd.
