Shanghai to launch citywide international coffee festival

The 6th Shanghai International Coffee Culture Festival is set to begin on April 30, with its opening ceremony to be held at the North Bund water stage in Hongkou district, bringing a citywide coffee-themed gala to residents and tourists throughout the May Day holiday.

Running until May 4, the festival's main venue will stretch along a 2.3-kilometer riverside at the North Bund, transformed into an open block-style market.

This venue will host nearly 300 brand booths and over 20 international coffee shops, organized into four distinct sections: the international zone, industrial chain zone, crossover integration zone, and interactive experience zone.
