Gangnam Festival

The “2026 Gangnam Festival,” the largest urban festival of its kind, will take place throughout the city center from October 3 to October 5. Kicking off with a spectacular street parade to mark the opening, the festival will feature K-pop concerts, family-friendly concerts, a Fashion & Beauty Festa blending K-Fashion and performance, and a Beer & Food Festa offering a variety of culinary delights—the entire Gangnam district will transform into one massive festival venue. It will offer domestic and international tourists a special experience featuring lights and music illuminating the night sky, performances and hands-on activities taking place throughout the streets, and a harmonious blend of culture and cuisine. The Gangnam Festival, a global K-culture festival that blends the city’s energy with Hallyu content, is a flagship cultural and tourism event that showcases Gangnam’s charm to the world.
