Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – Aug. 9, 2025 – The third annual Brewing Hope Coffee Festival benefitting Hope Found will take place in November, the nonprofit announced.

“We are excited to announce that the Brewing Hope Coffee Festival is returning to Jonesboro,” said Hope Found executive director Megan Brown in a news release. “We know this is a fun event to enjoy coffee, fall weather, and community – all while supporting Hope Found in the fight to end human trafficking.”

The festival is a fundraising event that will feature coffee shops and related vendors, including food vendors, bakeries and retailers from around Northeast Arkansas. Attendees will also vote on their favorite brews in the People’s Choice categories.

“This is much more than a coffee festival,” Brown said. “Brewing Hope is an opportunity to enjoy food and drinks from local favorites while shopping and enjoying quality time with loved ones. This event will also have our VR interactive experience which allows attendees to walk in the shoes of Lisa, a minor victim of trafficking, and learn more about how this happened to her so that they can learn how to prevent this from happening to others.”

Hope Found is a nonprofit dedicated to ending human trafficking in Northeast Arkansas through prevention and restoration. The organization provides education to the community, exploitation prevention programs for youth, long-term advocacy, as well as survivor-oriented, trauma-informed care and coordination for victims.

The festival will be held at the Judd Hill Farmers Market, located at 3350 Aggie Road, on Nov. 8 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Presale tickets will be available for $20 on the Hope Found website starting Sept. 8. Kids under 10 get in free.
