The Korean Touch Festival is back in Villeurbanne with an even more ambitious 2026 edition. On Saturday, July 4, and Sunday, July 5, Double Mixte will host one of the largest French events dedicated to Korean culture. Spanning over 2,000 m² of fully air-conditioned space – a detail that's far from trivial in the summer heat – visitors can explore all facets of South Korea, from traditions to the latest global trends.

K-Pop, Korean cuisine, beauty, and gaming on the agenda
The festival promises a deep dive into all the realms that make Korea shine on the international stage today. K-Pop fans will find an exciting scene buzzing all day long with dance demonstrations, contests, and the must-have random play dance where the audience is invited to join the dance floor as soon as the first notes ring out.
Foodies will also have plenty to delight their taste buds with a large area dedicated to Korean cuisine. Crispy fried chicken, spicy tteokbokki, corn-dogs, and other iconic specialties will let you travel without a passport. The festival also highlights K-Beauty with several stands dedicated to cosmetics and Korean beauty routines, not to mention a fashion area to discover the latest trends from Seoul. Video game and webtoon enthusiasts will also enjoy a zone specially designed for them.
