Understand the two 2026 locations

The wider 2026 Garden Show runs at Seoul Forest through October 27. The fall chapter at Maeheon Citizen’s Forest is a separate location and schedule. If you search only the event name, always check which park the listing refers to before taking the subway or a taxi.

Seoul describes the fall edition as a citizen-participatory garden program. It has announced workshops and forest-themed activities alongside the Garden Market, but individual session availability can change.

A good two-to-three-hour plan

  1. Arrive with water and weather-appropriate shoes.
  2. Use the gardens as the main activity rather than adding a tight attraction schedule.
  3. Check whether a workshop has separate registration before joining a queue.
  4. Leave time for the Garden Market, but do not rely on a specific vendor or product.
Planning limit: This is an outdoor event. Rain, heat or early autumn darkness can affect how much you comfortably see.
