The 2026 Korea–US Friendship Cultural Festival takes place on October 24 (Saturday)–25 (Sunday), 2026, around Sinjang Shopping Mall in front of the K-55 main gate in Pyeongtaek. A representative local festival in Pyeongtaek, it promotes cultural exchange and friendship between Korea and the United States. Main operating hours are 13:00–20:00 on both days. The event is divided into hands-on booth programs and stage programs. Booths include an English Festa Zone for learning English through activities, a Korea–US Food Experience Zone, and a Korea–US Culture Experience Zone. Stage programs include an opening ceremony, celebratory performances and stage events. This edition features varied content themed around hamburgers and budae-jjigae, signature foods of Sinjang Shopping Mall. Held as a new program this year, the 'National Korea–US Burger Contest: Find the Taste of Songtan Burgers!' showcases burgers reflecting Sinjang's character and celebrates the region's burger flavors. The festival brings together Pyeongtaek residents, US service members stationed in Korea and their families, and local communities to understand each other's cultures and share friendship.
