The 2026 Busan International Footwear, Textile and Fashion Exhibition (FAFA Busan) and Busan Fashion Week will take place from October 29 to 31 at BEXCO Exhibition Center 1 in Busan, South Korea. Organised by the Busan Metropolitan Government, the events aim to showcase industry innovation, emerging fashion trends and opportunities for international business collaboration.

FAFA Busan, now in its 34th year, will feature 380 exhibition booths representing 360 companies. The exhibition will showcase new products, advanced technologies and developments across the footwear, textile and fashion sectors. A global business fair and one-to-one meetings involving approximately 260 domestic and international buyers will focus on generating business partnerships and commercial contracts.

The event will also highlight digital transformation through an artificial intelligence trend seminar and a future technology pavilion. Visitors can explore additional attractions, including a retro footwear exhibition, a walking posture clinic and a sports-themed experience zone.

Running alongside the exhibition, Busan Fashion Week will present 12 fashion shows featuring domestic and international brands, as well as nine universities from Busan. Three Indonesian brands will participate through an international exchange with Jakarta Fashion Festival, creating opportunities for collaboration and helping Busan-based fashion businesses explore overseas markets.

The combined events aim to strengthen Busan’s position as a hub for footwear, textiles and fashion by connecting manufacturers, designers, buyers and technology providers. By bringing industry exhibitions and cultural experiences together, the initiative seeks to encourage innovation, expand international trade and create new business opportunities for regional companies.
