Coconut Park Brings a New Lifestyle Festival to Koh Norea
Coconut Park is preparing to turn its Koh Norea venue into a larger meeting point for food, shopping and lifestyle experiences with the launch of the International Food & Lifestyle Fest 2026.
The festival will take place across two days, giving visitors an opportunity to explore a range of food and beverage offerings alongside retail and lifestyle activities.
Rather than focusing only on traditional exhibition booths, the event is designed around experiences. Businesses will be able to connect with visitors through dedicated zones, activations and interactive activities.
That approach gives the festival a stronger lifestyle and social dimension, allowing brands to interact with potential customers in a more informal environment.
Food, Shopping and Activities Across Two Days
Visitors can expect a combination of local and international food and beverages, lifestyle and retail brands, family activities, interactive brand experiences, a beer garden and social dining areas.
The organisers are positioning the event as a full weekend experience for different groups of Phnom Penh residents and visitors.
Families can explore activities and dining areas, while young professionals, students and expats can experience food, shopping and social activities in one location.
The festival also adds another type of event to Phnom Penh’s expanding leisure and lifestyle scene, where food, entertainment and social experiences increasingly overlap.
Phnom Penh already offers visitors a broad combination of dining, shopping and riverside experiences, including areas covered in Angkor Times’ guide to the capital’s top attractions.
A New Platform for Brands and Businesses
For businesses, the International Food & Lifestyle Fest is more than an opportunity to display products.
Coconut Park is inviting food vendors, beverage brands, retailers, lifestyle businesses, sponsors and partners to participate through booth and partnership opportunities.
The event is designed to allow participating businesses to engage directly with visitors through dedicated zones, activations and activities.
This can give brands an opportunity to demonstrate products, create face to face connections and introduce their offerings to consumers in a social environment.
For smaller businesses and emerging lifestyle brands, an event centred on direct consumer interaction can also provide a platform to test products and observe customer responses.
Annabelle Vong Leads the Event Development
The festival is being led by Annabelle Vong, who oversees Sales, Marketing, Events & Partnerships for Coconut Park.
The event forms part of a wider effort to bring larger lifestyle events, experiences and brand collaborations to Coconut Park.
This suggests the festival is intended not simply as a one off food event but as part of Coconut Park’s broader positioning as a venue for lifestyle experiences and brand activities.
Koh Norea’s Growing Role in Phnom Penh’s Leisure Scene
Holding the festival at Coconut Park II places the event in Koh Norea, an increasingly important part of Phnom Penh’s expanding urban landscape.
For an event focused on food, lifestyle and social experiences, the location provides an opportunity to connect commercial activity with a growing residential and leisure environment.
The festival could also complement Phnom Penh’s broader development as a destination where food, shopping, entertainment and experiences form an increasingly important part of urban life.
For businesses considering participation, the event provides a direct opportunity to meet consumers while also associating their brands with a new lifestyle focused destination.

Angkor Times Analysis
From a business perspective, the International Food & Lifestyle Fest 2026 reflects the growing importance of experience driven events as a marketing channel. Consumers are not only looking for products but also places where they can eat, shop, socialise and interact with brands.
For participating businesses, the strongest opportunity may come from moving beyond a conventional booth setup. Interactive demonstrations, product sampling, special offers and activities can create more meaningful engagement and give brands a reason to be remembered after the event.
For Coconut Park, the festival could also become a platform for future partnerships with food, retail, lifestyle and consumer brands. If successful, regular events of this type could strengthen the venue’s position within Phnom Penh’s growing lifestyle and leisure economy.
