The ‘2026 Gangnam Festival,’ the largest urban festival unfolding across the entire city center, will be held from October 2 to October 5. Beginning with a spectacular street parade to mark the opening, the entirety of Gangnam will transform into one massive festival space featuring K-POP concerts, family concerts for the whole family to enjoy, a Fashion & Beauty Festa combining K-fashion and performance, and a Beer & Food Festa offering diverse culinary experiences. It will present domestic and international tourists with a special time where light and music adorn the night sky, performances and activities take place throughout the streets, and culture and gastronomy harmonize. As a global K-Culture festival combining the city's energy with Hallyu content, the Gangnam Festival is a representative cultural tourism event that promotes the charms of Gangnam to the world.
