View staysTreat Gangnam as one large festival venue
Pick a main event
The parade, concerts, fashion and beauty programs, and food events take place in different parts of Gangnam.
Allow for travel time
Dosan-daero, Maru Park, and Bongeunsa Temple are not one compact site. Check the venue for every program.
Use public transit
Road closures and large crowds can slow travel between venues. Subway access is the most reliable option.

How it works
This is a citywide festival rather than a single enclosed venue. Build your day around one or two main programs and their locations.
Before you go
The 2026 festival runs October 3–5. Program times vary by day and venue, so check the official schedule before choosing your route. Admission is free.
