A citywide performing-arts season
Dates: September 18-November 29, 2026
Base information point: Daehakro Center, Jongno-gu
Admission: varies by performance or festival
According to the official Seoul tourism listing, Seoul Autumn Festa brings separately programmed performances and festivals together as one autumn platform. It is not one fenced festival site with one ticket. That distinction is important for visitors: one event may be outdoors and free, while another may have a venue, timed entry or a paid reservation.
From September 1, the Daehakro Center is scheduled to host an integrated information platform with a taste-based performance kiosk and on-site participation programs. It may be useful when you are already visiting Jongno or Daehakro, but it should not replace checking the final information for a particular show.
How to use the announcement
Pick a Seoul neighborhood first, then look for a performance that fits the evening. A Han River program pairs well with a riverside walk; a Daehakro program can fit after a museum or palace afternoon. Leave room for weather changes and Korean-language-only details.
For planning basics, link your itinerary to South Korea Time, Hangang Drone Light Show, and the Korea Emergency Help tool.
