Seoul is set to host a month-long autumn night festival at Namsan Park, from October 23 to November 7, to stimulate the city's nighttime economy. The 2026 Namsan Night Festival will occur on Fridays and Saturdays throughout six days, concluding with a unique silent disco event on November 14.
The festival's main attraction, Namsan Campnic, combines camping and picnicking, running from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Baekbeom Square. This grassy area offers panoramic views of Seoul's sunset and the iconic N Seoul Tower. Campers can reserve 100 designated tent and mat spots daily, with a capacity for up to 600 groups throughout the event.
Highlights of the festival include live music performances, a live radio-style request show, and open-air screenings of films, such as "August Rush." For outdoor enthusiasts, a guided evening hike called the Autumn Foliage Walk will be available on October 23 and 24, and November 6 and 7. Two routes are offered: a 3.8-kilometer, 90-minute trail or a 4.2-kilometer path that includes N Seoul Tower.
