Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture runs Seoul Autumn Festa from September 18 to November 29, 2026 — 73 days that gather independent and public performing arts from across the city under one banner, with an opening performance and the Seoul International Arts Forum among the planned programmes.
Seoul Autumn Festa runs from September 18 to November 29, 2026, organised by the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture. Its own description is simple: to find independent performing arts work across Seoul and connect it to more people.
It is less a single festival than a banner. Productions by private companies and public institutions across the city join the programme, and the foundation adds its own — an opening performance, the Seoul International Arts Forum, and shared promotion so that all of it is findable in one place instead of scattered across a hundred venues.
Autumn is Seoul’s performance season, and the difficulty for a visitor has always been finding out what is on. From mid-September that problem gets smaller: theatre, dance, music and street work across the whole city sit under one schedule. Venues are spread across Seoul rather than concentrated in one district, so check the address as carefully as the date.
