The Washington State Korean American Chamber of Commerce (KACCWA) will host the WABA Korea Expo & Festival 2026 from August 14–16 at Pier 62 on Seattle’s waterfront, with a B2B pre-networking event scheduled for August 13.
KACCWA said the expo, positioned as a business and cultural platform connecting Korea and the United States, is expected to be the largest in WABA history. Since its launch in 2021, the event has grown into a key Korean-American business and cultural gathering in the Pacific Northwest.
The program will open with a B2B session featuring one-on-one meetings between Korean companies and U.S. buyers, followed by a three-day expo including vendor showcases, K-pop and cultural performances, and keynote remarks. Participating companies from sectors such as food, beauty, technology, and lifestyle will present products targeting the U.S. market.
With more than 10,000 daily visitors expected at the waterfront venue during peak season, KACCWA emphasized that the event will provide Korean brands with direct consumer access and a practical opportunity to test market response.
“KACCWA is committed to creating a gateway for Korean businesses to enter the U.S. market while strengthening Korean-American economic networks,” the organization said.
Vendor, sponsor, and volunteer applications are currently being accepted through KACCWA.
