Car-Free Jamsu Bridge 2026 — Autumn Season
Every Sunday from September 6 to October 25, 2026, Jamsu Bridge closes to cars and becomes a pedestrian deck over the Han River, linked to Banpo Hangang Park. Free, from 14:00 into the evening, weekly, and the lowest-effort way to stand in the middle of the river.
Car-Free Jamsu Bridge 2026 — Autumn Season
A bridge with the cars taken out
Car-Free Jamsu Bridge runs its autumn season every Sunday from September 6 to October 25, 2026, on Jamsu Bridge and Banpo Hangang Park.
Jamsu Bridge is the lower deck of Banpo Bridge, sitting just above the waterline — low enough that it floods and closes when the river rises, which is where the name comes from. On festival Sundays the traffic is removed and the deck is given to people on foot, with programmes and stalls spread along it and into the riverside park.
Why it is worth an hour
Most Han River viewpoints put you beside the river. This one puts you on it, at eye level with the water, with the city on both banks and the bridge deck under your feet instead of a car. It costs nothing, it repeats weekly, and it fits into an afternoon between other plans.
The autumn season runs from 14:00 every Sunday — the festival’s own site gives 21:00 as the closing time, the city’s festival listing gives 22:00 — over the 1.1km from the north end of the bridge across to Dalbit Plaza on the south side. Dalbit Restaurant (food trucks) and Dalbit Store (food and goods stalls) line the route, and a silent-disco DJ set runs after dark. Opening day, September 6, adds Jamsu Water Wars — water games from 14:00 to 17:00. The season ends on October 25.
