Seoul is transforming a neighborhood green space into an autumn stage this weekend, hosting two days of free concerts, family activities and an outdoor movie screening.
The 2026 Cheonho Park Fall Festival runs from 2-6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday in Gangdong District, eastern Seoul. The event reflects a broader effort by municipal planners to decentralize culture, turning neighborhood parks into accessible hubs for leisure rather than relying solely on major venues along the Han River or in central Seoul. Cheonho Park, built on the site of a former factory in a densely populated residential zone, serves as a crucial green lung and gathering spot for the local community.
The lineup blends live music across multiple genres with interactive workshops for families.
