This year's event is on Saturday, September 19th. The 2026 Festival will include coffee roasters, coffee shops, coffee industry, green bean suppliers and tea industry showcasing their products and creations to our community. As always, WCF will be supporting two local nonprofits and our environment by making this festival a minimal waste event.

WCF is taking place in the Cargo District of Wilmington, NC and bringing back the street fair setup to allow for more vendors and attendees. We are working through the process to block off South 15th Street between Castle Street and Queen Street for the festival. This location is adjacent to a food court, restaurants, and shops within walking distance. 

Come support Rise & Grind at our first WCF festival appearance!
