Spanning 50,000 square feet, the event is modeled after four iconic Seoul districts—Seongsu, Gangnam, Hongdae, and Myeongdong—each tailored to specific facets of the K-beauty experience. From the functional skincare focus of Seongsu to the creative makeup labs of Hongdae, the festival replicates the curated retail journey that has made the brand a powerhouse in South Korea. Attendees can engage in hands-on activities, participate in personal color analysis, and consult with specialists to develop routines suited to their individual skin needs.

Olive Young Brings Immersive K-Beauty Festival to Los Angeles
Korean retail giant Olive Young is set to transform the Los Angeles Convention Center into a massive beauty playground from August 14–16, 2026. The inaugural U.S. edition of its signature festival will showcase 55 brands, offering visitors an interactive deep dive into Seoul’s most influential skincare and wellness trends.
Beyond product discovery, the festival integrates advanced retail technology with experiential rewards. Visitors who navigate the various zones can earn a goodie bag valued at approximately $109, while the onsite store allows guests to purchase items directly from the featured brands. Held within the festival grounds of KCON LA 2026, the event serves as a strategic expansion for the retailer, which recently opened its first two permanent U.S. locations in Pasadena and Los Angeles. By placing its signature festival alongside KCON’s broader cultural programming, Olive Young aims to bridge the gap between digital beauty trends and physical, community-driven retail experiences.
