2026 World Island Festival

About the festival

This is a cultural tourism festival that draws on the culture, cuisine and tourism resources of island regions around the world. The festival is organized into three areas: 'Travel', a culture and tourism exhibition; 'Taste', a culinary experience; and 'Vibe', cultural performances and activities. 'Travel' is a culture and tourism exhibition program that introduces the tourism resources of participating island regions through tourism promotion, traditional costume experiences, cultural activities and photo exhibitions. 'Taste' is a culinary program in which chefs from island regions are invited to introduce local food and give visitors the chance to sample it. 'Vibe' is a program that lets visitors watch and experience each region's culture through island-by-island cultural performances and traditional games.
