Dubai K-Fest, the citywide celebration of South Korean entertainment, fashion, food and beauty, continues until October 4, 2026 across several malls and restaurants in the city. While the free K-pop concerts that kicked off the festival have already wrapped up, much of the programme remains open to visitors this week.
The festival spans multiple venues, including Korea 360 at Dubai Festival City Mall, ROXY branches at City Walk, Al Khawaneej and Dubai Hills Mall, Dubai Outlet Mall, and Palazzo Versace Dubai. Larger malls such as BurJuman, Al Ghurair Centre, Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates are also hosting elements of the programme.
Visitors can join K-dance and taekwondo-style choreography workshops, watch Korean film screenings paired with interactive mystery games, and try Korean beauty and skincare products at dedicated showcases. Six participating restaurants are serving special Korean-inspired menus for the duration of the festival.
One of the festival's biggest draws is its "Spend and Win" raffle: every Dh300 spent at more than 2,500 participating stores earns shoppers an entry, with no cap on the number of entries per person. The grand prize is a 2026 Genesis G80 alongside a Dh10,000 mall voucher. Organisers say the festival, now a recurring fixture on Dubai's cultural calendar, aims to deepen the connection between residents and South Korean pop culture through a mix of shopping, food and hands-on cultural experiences across the city's retail hubs.
