🚁 Saturday Night Drone Show
Gwangalli M Drone Light Show
is a regular drone performance
held every Saturday by Suyeong-gu.
From October, winter hours apply,
so there will be two shows at 19:00 and 21:00.
The October 10th show is titled
’When You Visit Busan in October.’
You can watch from anywhere
along Gwangalli Beach.
However, it may be canceled or delayed
on the day due to rain, strong winds, or communication issues.
🚇 Getting There & Parking
The official website expects heavy crowds
and recommends using public transportation.
| Transport | Where to Get Off |
|---|---|
| Subway Line 2 | Get off at Gwangan Station or Geumnyeonsan Station and walk |
| Bus | Bus stops near Gwangalli Beach |
Parking info is limited to a single line
recommending public transport.
The drone show website announced that
the Suyeong-gu Office underground parking lot (100 Namcheondong-ro)
has been closed indefinitely since August 6.
👨👩👧 If You’re Going with Kids
If you’re bringing children,
be sure to check out the stamp tour.
Pick up a sheet at the operations HQ
and collect stamps at the booths.
Since souvenirs are first-come, first-served,
it’s best to start before sunset.
On Saturday the 10th, you can enjoy
the afternoon stage, evening drone show,
and celebratory performance all in one place.
The festival stage wraps up with the 19:00 drone show link
and the 20:00 Hwang Chi-yeul performance
