左手咖啡，右手茶！来陆家嘴咖啡节春季场，共赴这场不可错过的国潮之约Left hand coffee, right hand tea! Come to Lujiazui Coffee Festival Spring Festival to attend the China-Chic appointment that cannot be missed
The spring scenery is not yet complete, and the summer atmosphere is born. When the wheat grains in the north begin to fill, the rivers in the south become increasingly abundant, and all things grow but are not yet fully filled - this is exactly the most anticipated scene in the world. The 11th Lujiazui International Coffee Culture Festival Spring Special Event will quietly kick off from May 29th to 31st, 2026. It is not only a three-day cultural gathering, but also a warm departure for the Lujiazui Coffee Festival and Eastern cultural aesthetics.
Starting from spring, embark on a new journey of the new decade
The 11th Lujiazui Coffee Culture Festival is a new starting point for the new decade. In addition to the abundance of autumn, a new sky opens up in late spring and early summer, completing a long-awaited cultural dialogue with a more relaxed rhythm. Spring and autumn echo each other: the autumn fair gathers global coffee cutting-edge expressions, and the spring fair enables coffee and China-Chic cultural shops to unfold an elegant picture of oriental beauty.
At the event, more than 30 premium coffee brands including DECADE CAFE, Coflix Chuanxing Coffee, Decameron Ten Day Talk, Parking Coffee, etc. engaged in a dialogue with the world through their flavors; More than 30 Eastern tea and utensil brands, such as Very Bright Tea, Glass Heart Glass Language, Free Tea House, and Mishan Chunxiao, convey a thousand year elegant charm between cups and cups; More than 30 China-Chic new cultural and creative brands, such as Longxin, No Picture, No Language, DaBei+, came with the oriental trend; More than 30 food and light meal brands, such as Luo Su Ji and Yi Kou Echo, added a delightful surprise to the park... Over 150 brands gathered together to engage in a deep dialogue between coffee and Eastern lifestyle aesthetics.
Using the building as a backdrop, listen to a song called 'Water Grinding New Tune'
When the 600 year old intangible cultural heritage Kunqu meets the modern skyline of Lujiazui for the first time, what kind of echo will it collide with?
Once known as the "ancestor of all forms of opera", Kunqu Opera was softly sung in the alleys and streams of Jiangnan. Four hundred years ago, Tang Xianzu wrote in his poem "The Peony Pavilion" that "without going to the garden, how could one know the spring scenery is like this", pushing the ancient water mill tune to the pinnacle of Chinese classical aesthetics. Twenty five years ago, Chinese Kunqu art successfully applied for World Heritage status, and the fluttering water sleeves finally emerged from the water towns and marshes of Wu Nong's soft language, carrying six hundred years of ups and downs and rebirth, and heading towards a broader world.
During the Spring Special Session of the 11th Lujiazui Coffee Culture Festival, everything underwent an unprecedented contemporary reconstruction. On the evening of May 29th to 30th, led by Mr. Zhang Jun, the "Prince of Kunqu Opera", several musicians collaborated with Kunshan Contemporary Kunqu Opera House to create a stunning performance of "Shuimo New Tune · New Kunqu Opera" for the first time on a real lake surface in the central green space of Lujiazui, Shanghai, with the lake as the platform and the building as the curtain.
Kunqu Opera is the soul, contemporary music is the form. Rock, electronics, pop, saxophone, violin and other diverse music languages intertwine, allowing the six hundred year elegant charm of water grinding to complete a wonderful encounter across time and space between the forest of buildings and the aroma of coffee and tea in this financial city. The live audience sat on the ground, gazing up at the night sky in the center of the city, listening to the evening breeze and Kunqu opera composing a concerto - at that moment, Jiangnan elegance had its own interpretation of this era.
In addition, the specially planned "corner play" segment during the day will be presented by young actors from Kunshan Contemporary Kunqu Opera House - the classic Kunqu opera excerpt "Peony Pavilion · Garden Dream" will be softly spoken at the spring stage of Lujiazui Coffee Festival. Actors not only perform on stage, but also navigate through crowds. Sing a play with you, dance a water sleeve with you, hold a gesture together... Tradition is no longer far away, it is meeting you in a young way. In the depths of the garden, let's hear that voice - 'It turns out that colorful flowers are blooming everywhere.'.
Following this water grinding cavity, you will find that the surprise is far beyond your ears. The next moment I looked up, where my clothes danced gracefully, elegance came from within. The spring session of the Lujiazui Coffee Festival, in collaboration with Sichuan banquet poetry that deeply cultivates the "Chinese banquet aesthetics", presents a flowing beauty of the East - appreciating poetry and dance, watching music and dance, and going on a parade. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the poem and dance play "Luoshen" depicted the beauty and melancholy of the encounter of the Luo River with a graceful and stunning posture; The Qin and Han court music and dance "Treading the Drum with Excellence" uses drums as the festival and dance as the soul, showcasing the majestic atmosphere of Han Dynasty's ritual and music harmony. There is also a parade of twelve flower gods and hairpin flowers walking among the crowd on site. Clothes fluttered and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. You may unexpectedly encounter a thousand year old elegance by the lake, in the forest, or at a corner.
Taking tea as a guide, go to an Oriental daily activity that can be visited and tasted
If the water Kunqu opera in the twilight is a grand ceremony of Eastern culture, then the spring limited market led by tea is a gentle and flowing narrative of Eastern daily life.
More than 150 brands gathered here - from Yunnan boutique coffee to Wuyi rock tea, from intangible cultural heritage embroidery to China-Chic design, to warm and appropriate snacks. They are not deliberately displayed, but more like natural scenery grown in spring. The Tea Life section collaborates with the "Yixinjia" brand to seamlessly blend traditional tea activities with contemporary camping life through a scenario based interpretation of "one seat, one environment". The sky is at the top, and the green grass is at the table - there's no need to rush, just sit down and find the rhythm that life should have between tea and plants.
When poetry meets Shanghai dialect, words and phrases no longer just lie on paper - they speak with the warmth and memory of this city. At the event site, the Lujiazui Coffee Festival, together with the Wu Changshuo Memorial Hall, presented a Shanghai language recitation sharing session called "Poetry and Joy". Famous Shanghai opera performer Mao Shanyu, renowned performer Qiao Zhen, Shanghai Pingtan Troupe first-class actress Zhu Lin, and host Xiaolin attended as recitation guests. The crowd recited the Moyun chapter in Shanghai dialect, writing a gentle footnote for the daily life of the East. The rhythm of Shanghai dialect and poetry interweave at this moment, with gentle and fluctuating tones echoing slowly in the century old carved tower of Chen Guichun's old house, located deep in the green forest in the center of Lujiazui.
Starting with 'Journey to Lu', linking with the comprehensive consumption interaction of Lujiazui
As an important part of the Spring Coffee Festival's cultural, commercial, sports, and tourism linkage, the "Journey to Lu" Lujiazui Full Area Pass was officially released during this event, inspired by ancient travel notes and written in today's Lujiazui. A booklet in hand, following the fragrance, covering the main venue of the coffee festival, Shanghai Guojin Center Shopping Mall IFC, Zhengda Square, Shangyue Bay, 96 Square, 1862 Fashion Art Center, Zhendan Art Museum and other shopping malls and art and cultural institutions. Holders of the certificate can enjoy exclusive discounts, parking discounts, limited access and other benefits. At the same time, Tiktok Life Service, the on-site communication partner, has also set up an interactive site to create an IP activity of "Lujiazui Haoguang Life Guide Collection". During the event, search for keywords such as "Lujiazui Shopping Guide" in Tiktok APP, and you can enter the special page. Many experts will clock in at the same time to record the wonderful moment of this Oriental Gathering.
A cup of coffee, a cup of clear tea, a poem, a traditional Chinese opera - when these fragments of Eastern daily life intersect at the Lujiazui Coffee Festival, urban young people can enter a daily life belonging to Eastern aesthetics in the most comfortable way.
All things grow together, heading towards a new window of world culture
From 2016 to 2026, the Lujiazui Coffee Culture Festival is such a big tree rooted in the innovative soil of Pudong. Every ring of it is engraved with the courage to explore and the scale of transformation: from the curious exploration of dozens of coffee brands in the beginning, to the high-frequency coordinates on the global coffee map later; From the fragrance emanating from a corner of Lujiazui Financial City, to over 100000 people rushing to it every autumn.
Over the past decade, it has not only brought premium coffee from around the world to Shanghai, but also made Shanghai an indispensable eastern coordinate on the world coffee map. What is deeper than scale and traffic is the ability it has accumulated - a capacity for growth, connection, and dialogue.
Starting from this, relying on the continuous growth of the Lujiazui Coffee Culture Festival, in the future, the Lujiazui Central Green Space will use coffee and tea as a link to open a window for transmitting Eastern culture to the world, and also open its arms to introduce global civilization and customs. Let diverse cultures converge and blend here, making Lujiazui not only a world financial city, but also a warm coffee and cultural city.
