The 26th Hansung Baekje Cultural Festival highlights 27 neighborhoods and evening performances

The 2026 festival will open with a welcome drone show featuring greetings from the Haha Hoho characters, followed by classical performances by the Songpa District Orchestra and Three Tenors. Band performances and media art are also included in this year's program, allowing visitors to plan an evening centered on performances at the 88 Lawn Field.

The main program consists of the opening ceremony, the Hansung Culture Concert as the closing ceremony, and the One-Heart Community Festival. In particular, residents from 27 neighborhoods in Songpa-gu will participate in the One-Heart Community Festival. On October 25, the final day of the festival, the Hansung Culture Concert featuring traditional Korean music will be held as the closing performance.

Plan around the 88 Lawn Field address at 424 Olympic-ro

The event venue is around the 88 Lawn Field at Olympic Park, 424 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul (Bang-i-dong). Enter “Olympic Park 88 Lawn Field” or “424 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul” in a map app. The official festival website provides a venue map and directions.

As of October 13, information on temporary shuttle buses in 2026, traffic controls during the event, the location of temporary parking lots, and parking fees had not been confirmed in the official notices. Daily operating hours and the start and end times of individual programs were also absent from the published content, so a same-day itinerary coordinated with the last train or bus cannot yet be finalized.

After free admission, choose from activities and the market starting at 5,000 won

Admission to the 2026 event venue is free, while some activity programs cost between 5,000 and 10,000 won. The official lineup includes activity programs, an experience village, promotional booths, and the Hansung Baekje Market, so visitors should set aside a separate activity budget in addition to admission, which is free.

Food sales are planned at the Hansung Baekje Market, and the Hansung Baekje Kids Café is also scheduled to operate. However, the 2026 menu, payment methods at individual booths, the locations of restrooms and storage facilities, and peak congestion times have not been confirmed in the published materials.

Check the Hansung Culture Concert and English-language information before October 25

The official 2026 notices contain no information about foreign-language information booths or interpretation services. No materials have yet been published to clarify the availability of language support for the opening ceremony and the One-Heart Community Festival, which require Korean-language hosting, in contrast to visually and musically oriented programs such as the drone show, bands, and media art.

As of October 13, policies concerning operation, cancellation, and refunds in rainy weather, as well as wheelchair and stroller accessibility, had not been confirmed. Travelers seeking a quiet viewing experience should first check whether the schedule with the drone show and orchestra and band performances suits them.
