To celebrate International Coffee Day, KopiSolo Community organized the 3rd Solo International Coffee Day and invited more than 20 local cafes for coffee giveaway to every attendee at Triwindu market, Monday (10/01/2018) Night.

There were more than 20 local caffee shops and cafe operating at Soloraya taken part to celeberate the event such as Sekutu Kopi, Cold n Brew, Tjolo Koffie, Soft Kopi, Koeslan's Coffee & Roastery, Sakaw Coffe & Bites, Srivijava, Jox's Coffe, Hakiki Coffee & Goodnes, Kopi Si Budi, Toko Kopi Podjok, Mounthearted, and many others. Not only to celebrate International Coffee Day, but these coffee shops and cafes also tried to socialize coffee via local cafes that operate at Solo Raya. The coffee shops and cafes promoted themselves  by giving out small cups of coffee brewed on the spot by each coffee shop and cafe at each tent on their own provided stands.

Aldi, one of the atendees, said that he was very fascinated with the event.

"I'm actually a coffee lover, but stopped because of health issues," said Aldi  "After trying the traditional Sulawesi coffee, I'm interested to drink some more coffee"

At the middle of the event, the organizer opened the opportunity to donate for earthquake victims at Central Sulawesi that recently happened. The attendees could buy some coffee beans on a separate place from the giveaway.

Whether the event actually helps boost sales on local coffee shops and cafes or spark people’s interest in coffee has yet to be known, but there were hundreds of people attending the festival and many queued at each stands for free coffee.
