This post shares 2026 tea festival dates and locations in North America, Europe, and Australia. You can see lists organized by date or country…and even by state within the United States. And, I’ve included a category for virtual tea festivals.
Last year, I had over 40 tea festivals on my 2025 Tea Festivals list. So, this post will certainly grow as more festivals announce their 2026 dates. [Last updated 12/2/25.]
What is a Tea Festival?
Tea festivals are events open to the public (often requiring visitors to purchase tickets). These events feature vendors and artisans (sometimes even producers) who sell tea, teaware, accessories, and related merchandise. They also usually sell tea sweets or other food items.
Tea festivals are geared toward the tea-loving public, not tea professionals or those in related industries. The World Tea Expo, for example, caters mainly to professionals.
Tea festivals do, however, usually feature tea professionals and educators who offer workshops on a range of tea-related topics. For example, I presented a workshop at the 2025 Toronto Tea Festival.

hi, Helsinki Coffee and Tea festival will be organised April 17-19 in Helsinki, Finland. The main focus is on coffee due to heavy (up to 10 kg/per person per annum!) coffee consumption in Finland, but tea has been established as a theme at the event with various exhibitors, tastings and competitions for Tea of the Year. Helsinki itself has a very rich area filled with teashops and tearooms called Helsinki Tea District. Within short walking distance, you can experience Nordic, European and Asian tearooms.
