The Korea Times reports that Seoul's Gangnam District is consolidating four major family festivals into a single, large-scale event this Saturday at Maru Park. The new 2026 Gangnam Family Harmony Festa will combine the Gender Equality Week observances, the 37th Gangnam Children’s Writing and Drawing Contest, an all-family flea market, and a multicultural festival into one unified program.

This consolidation reflects a broader effort by local authorities to streamline public programming and address social isolation in the district.
