The Wild West Coffee Fest is part Canadian Cup Tasters Championship showcase, part high-energy marketplace where you can sample and shop some of Western Canada's most popular specialty coffee.

In the Cup Tasters Championship, competitors are presented with eight triangles of three cups, two identical and one different. Using only their sense of smell, taste, and experience, they must identify the odd cup out as quickly as possible. It's fast-paced, high-pressure, and incredibly fun to watch live.

The 2026 Canadian National Cup Tasters Championship will be held at Wild West Coffee Fest. Learn more on the SCA Canada website.

Anyone who enjoys a good cup of coffee. Across the two-day event, we are partnering with a total of 18 roasters to offer a diverse range of roasting styles from rich, heritage blends to vibrant and experimental brews.

The event is organized by Eight Ounce Coffee, Canada's largest distributor of specialty coffee gear.

The Wild West Coffee Fest will debut at Inglewood's Festival Hall from March 21–22.
