On the first night, 1 May, there will be an opening party at Seoul Plaza from 7.30 to 9 pm with live K-pop and group performances.
After that, Seoul Plaza will transform into different “party zones” with activities like tea and coffee tastings, dance challenges with influencers, and performances inspired by Korean drama soundtracks on 2 and 3 May.
Meanwhile, Gwanghwamun Square will host all sorts of events and you can participate in programs there too.
They’re also setting up these “Seoul Style Road” areas with six zones focused on Korean culture, fashion, food, and more.
You can try traditional games, shop for souvenirs, get beauty treatments, and chow down on tons of Korean snacks and dishes.
They will have chef demonstrations and influencer cooking too.
On 4 May, the festival moves to Sejong-daero for the Seoul Road Show.
They will turn the street into a stage for performances and you can join in painting and other collaborative activities.
And out in Noeul Park from 4 to 5 May, there will be a picnic zone for Korean BBQ.
You can grill meat yourself after reserving a time slot via the Seoul Festa website and savor dishes made by famous chefs while shopping for local goods at the on-site marketplace.
