Kibi Pick 🐾

Curated by Kibi, just for you

Sep 28 – Oct 4, 2026

🐾

Last week Seoul emptied out for Chuseok. This week everyone is back — and on Saturday, Gangnam hands a road over to them. The grand parade runs from Cheongdam intersection to Dosan Park intersection, 16:00 to 18:00, and you watch it from the pavement. A family concert follows on Dosan-daero at 19:00, an EDM party at 21:30. Sunday brings a fashion and beauty festa, a global food contest, and a K-pop concert in the evening. Fifteenth year. And if the noise becomes too much, there is a temple in the same district — on Monday it holds a concert of its own.

Mood: The City Refills, the Boulevard Empties 🥁

⭐ Event Pick

Gangnam Festival 2026

From Cheongdam to Dosan Park, along the road Gangnam Festival 2026 runs October 3–5 along Dosan-daero in Gangnam, Seoul. This is the 15th edition. Saturday, October 3 is built around the grand parade, moving from Cheongdam intersection to Dosan Park intersection from 16:00 to 18:00. Before it, a Global K-pop Dance Championship (12:30–14:40) and a K-pop Makeup Show (15:00–16:00) run in front of Dosan Park; after it, the boulevard stage takes a family concert (19:00–21:30) and then an EDM party (21:30–22:30). Sunday, October 4 brings a fashion and beauty festa in front of Dosan Park (13:00–17:00), a global food contest on Dosan-daero (14:00–15:00), and a K-pop concert in the evening (18:00–21:00). Monday, October 5 is listed with an international peace marathon and a temple music concert at Bongeunsa. Detailed times are not yet posted on the official page. How to see it You watch the parade from the street. Stand anywhere between Cheongdam intersection and Dosan Park intersection and it will pass you. For the K-pop concert, check the official channel for entry and seating. Only confirmed schedule details are written here.

🗺️ Hidden Gem

A Temple in the Middle of All That

Bongeunsa sits in Gangnam, surrounded by the tallest part of the district. It was founded in 794 and it is still a working temple, not a preserved one — monks live there, services run, and anyone can walk in. On October 5 it holds a temple music concert as part of the festival. The contrast is the point: a boulevard full of speakers on Saturday, and this on Monday.
