This Festival in Rizal Will Have You Pumped Up With Music and Caffeine
Take a scenic drive east, grab coffee, and listen to local bands this Saturday.
(SPOT.ph) You're sorely mistaken if you think the coffee culture is strictly confined to bustling cities and busy business districts. The fascination with brewing the perfect cuppa joe and getting your daily caffeine fix is something that has been slowly but surely spreading to the other parts of the country too. In fact, a lot of local roasters and brewers have opened their own shops, and boy, are their coffees good.
There's a coffee renaissance happening in the Philippines and it's not just in Metro Manila. If you're curious about how widespread this coffee following is you might want to take a quick drive east this Saturday, October 1, and check out MUSIKAPE, Rizal province's first-ever coffee festival.

Here's what to expect from this music and coffee festival in Rizal:
MUSIKAPE (a.k.a. Musika, Sining, Kape) is happening at the Ynares Capitol Grounds in Antipolo this Saturday. It's a whole day affair starting from 8 a.m. until 12 m.n. Catch exhibits from local roasters, equipment suppliers, hobbyist groups, and coffee shops such as Kaulayaw Coffee, Palpitate Coffee, Kombi Brew, Kapinta, and many more.
It's going to be a jam-packed day with activities like art exhibits, a latte art competition at 11 a.m., and a live OPM concert. Local artists such as Munimuni, Banda ni Kleggy, Gracenote, Johnoy Danao, Jose Carlito, and many more are slated to perform at the evening show starting at 6 p.m.
Pumped for Saturday? Well, here's another reason to be excited: entrance to the festival is free. Explore the grounds and exhibits as much as you want at your own pace. There is however a registration fee of P1,000 for the OPM Concert which you can pay for and reserve online if you're interested to join in musical shenanigans.
