Siam Paragon has launched the NEXTOPIA Local Harvest Coffee Fest 2026, featuring an exhibition of espresso machines from Italy, a market showcasing quality Thai coffee beans, and special workshops from 23 April to 12 May 2026 GMT+7.

Siam Paragon, reaffirming its status as a world-class landmark, has transformed its 5th floor to unveil “NEXTOPIA Local Harvest Coffee Fest 2026,” a coffee festival connecting classic Italian espresso culture with sustainable Thai farming. Coffee lovers are invited to experience this special event from 23 April to 12 May 2026 GMT+7.

Highlights"A Sip of Italy"Asia’s first espresso machine exhibition

A key feature of this event is the collaboration with the Italian Embassy and the Italian Cultural Institute, bringing an exhibition“Italian Passion: The Art of Espresso”to Thailand for the first time in Asia. It showcases legendary Italian espresso machines from various eras, rare to see elsewhere, presenting the history and culture of global coffee up close.

Bringing together Thai coffee lovers to support farmers through a Direct Trade model

Beyond the Italian ambiance, the event emphasizes sustainability (ESG) through the Local Harvest Coffee Market zone. This area allows Thai farmers and small sellers to offer premium coffee beans directly to consumers under the Direct Trade concept—straight from the farm to the consumer without middlemen—to increase community income and promote environmentally friendly production processes.

Packed activities including family workshops, jazz music, and exclusive menus

The event also offers numerous engaging activities throughout its duration, such as:

• Exclusive Menu: Taste special collaboration dishes from Italian chefs and renowned NEXTOPIA outlets like Dean & Deluca, Fallabella, Fikka, and more.
• Talk & Experiences: In-depth coffee culture discussions led by experts flown in from Italy.
• Family Workshop: Activities for children and families by Bimbi Italiani, plus latte art astrology readings.
• Jazz & Coffee: Enjoy jazz performances by world-class artists in celebration of International Jazz Day on 30 April.

NEXTOPIA Local Harvest Coffee Fest 2026 is more than just a coffee tasting festival; it is a sustainable platform supporting farmers at the source and environmental care simultaneously. Those who enjoy cafe hopping or want to experience global coffee culture should not miss this event.
