Events in Korea

Gangnam Festival 2026 is held at COEX and Yeongdong-daero in Seoul. Gangnam’s major city festival brings together a parade, family concert, K-pop show, fashion program, food and culture zone, international marathon, and temple music event. The event runs from October 02, 2026 to October 05, 2026. Program schedules, admission conditions, and reservation rules can differ by activity, so visitors should review the official listing before setting out. Information at the venue may be provided mainly in Korean, although major city festivals are generally manageable with a translation app and advance planning. Allow extra travel time during busy periods and use public transportation where possible. Outdoor sessions may be changed or cancelled because of weather or safety conditions. Follow the official source for final operating hours, detailed lineups, accessibility information, and any registration notices.
