Check the Programs Left on the Final Weekend of the Autumn Hangang Festival
Key Takeaway
The 2026 Hangang Festival Autumn runs through October 25. As of October 19, what remains from the 23rd on is The Road Chef, Forest Adventure, silent yoga, and the autumn ecology class, so match your day and place first.
What programs are still left?
In its October 6 press report, Seoul Media Hub said the festival runs from October 17 to 25 across 7 Han River parks, including Jamwon, Gangseo, and Ttukseom. The programs packed into the earlier weekend of October 17 and 18 have already ended. These are the four you can still go to from now.
| Program | Date | Place | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Road Chef Hangang | October 23-25 | Ttukseom Hangang Park pool | A K-street-food contest among 20 young chef teams chosen nationwide |
| Hangang Forest Adventure | October 24-25 | Gangseo Hangang Park, next to the children's playground | Zip line, tree climbing, a rotating swing, rope play, and an adult rest area |
| Hangang Silent Yoga | October 25 (Banpo) | Banpo Hangang Park | A program that blocks surrounding noise so you can focus on breathing and movement |
| Hangang Autumn Ecology Class | October 17-25 | Nanji, Yeouido, Gangseo, Gwangnaru | Learning about the autumn Han River ecosystem through activities, play, and exploration |
The checked date is 2026-10-12. The report does not list times and fees for many programs. Do not guess values that are not in the table, and look them up in the official guidance.
Which programs needed advance registration?
The programs the report marks with both advance registration and a 5,000 KRW fee are #O.Un.Han and Hangang Hankki (Han River Meal). Both were held at Jamwon Hangang Park on October 17 and 18, so they are past by the time you read this. The report said remaining spots after advance registration would be filled on site.
The report does not say whether the final weekend programs have a similar registration process. Before you go, open the program page on the Hangang Park website and check whether registration has closed.
How do you get to each place?
The program venues are not in one spot. The Road Chef is at Ttukseom Hangang Park, Forest Adventure at Gangseo Hangang Park, and silent yoga at Banpo Hangang Park. If you plan to visit two places in a day, leave plenty of travel time.
Seoul urged people to use public transit, expecting crowds. It said the Hangang Bus can use the Apgujeong pier for the Hangang Festival Autumn events and the Ttukseom pier for The Road Chef. The report has no walking distances or timetables from the piers to each venue, so if you plan to take the Hangang Bus, look up its operating information separately.
Doesn't it overlap with other Han River events that weekend?
The Car-Free Jamsugyo Ddubeok-Ddubeok Festival also runs through Sunday, October 25, so your plans on the Banpo side may overlap. The October 25 Jamsugyo program was still marked as not yet confirmed on the official website. If you are thinking of combining silent yoga and Jamsugyo at Banpo, check both guides.
Where can you ask?
Seoul listed the Dasan Call Center at 02-120 as its contact. It said detailed program information is on the Hangang Park website and the festival's official website. Event times and operations can change, so it is safer to check the notices once the day before you leave and once on the morning of the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the final weekend programs also need advance registration?
Not in the sources I checked. In Seoul's press report, the only programs listing advance registration and a 5,000 KRW fee are two on October 17 and 18, and the registration method for programs from October 23 on is not listed.
Can I bring a car?
Seoul urged people to use public transit, expecting crowds. Whether parking is available is not in the sources I checked, so ask on the Hangang Park website or the Dasan Call Center.
Will the programs run if it rains?
The sources I checked do not say whether they operate in the rain. Check the Hangang Park website notices the day before and on the day.
