Concerts, traditional architecture headline autumn festival at Bukseoul Dream Forest

Every autumn, Bukseoul Dream Forest in northeastern Seoul transforms into a vibrant stage for cultural festivities. On Saturday, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced the Bukseoul Dream Forest Fall Concert, a daytime and nighttime celebration that merges traditional architecture with live performances, hands-on crafts, and food trucks.

From 1:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., the park's Changnyeongwigung Jaesa, a nationally registered cultural heritage site, hosts the festival. The schedule begins with craft activities, offering visitors five different programs between 11:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. These hands-on experiences include plaster figure art, terrarium making, art lamp crafts, sea glass crafts, and decoden crafts. Due to limited capacity, these paid activities accommodate the first 800 attendees.

As the day turns to evening, the park comes alive with an electrifying concert starting at 5:30 p.m. on a dedicated stage within Changnyeongwigung Jaesa's courtyard. The lineup for the concert boasts an eclectic mix of artists, including the rock band Youngstar, the children's belly dance group Nuri Kids, and the virtuosic electric violinist Ujoo.
