2026 Daejeon Seo-gu Art Festival Schedule, Lineup, Parking – Before Visiting Boramae Park with Kids

For three autumn days, Dunsan’s city parks fill with art and music 🎨

Celebrating its 10th anniversary! The 2026 Daejeon Seo-gu Art Festival runs from October 9 (Fri) to 11 (Sun), daily from 11:00 to 22:00 at Saemmori Park and Boramae Park in front of Seo-gu Office. Admission is free.

I’ve organized the official website schedule, programs, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s festival guide.

🎪 About the Festival

Started in 2016, this is Seo-gu’s signature festival, reportedly attracting 450,000 visitors each year. This year’s theme is ‘Seo-gu Art is Chill.’

The highlight is the National Artists’ Art Market. You can browse and purchase artworks, with hands-on activities and performances happening together.

When the sun sets, the Art Light Tunnel lights up from 17:00 to 23:00. Outdoor sculpture exhibitions and special galleries are open throughout the festival.

✨ What’s Happening When?

Here’s the main stage schedule by date. Evening performances start around 20:00 each night.

The main stage seating is planned to be divided into wheelchair, picnic mat, and chair sections.

🫧 Stages Kids Will Love

On the Fringe Stage next door, there are performances kids will enjoy.

On the 9th, there’s B-boy group One Way Crew (17:00), and on the 10th, Happy Shuffle Dance (18:30).

The Experience Zone is open all three days.

Busking stage runs from 15:00 to 18:00 all three days, and food zones and trucks are open from 11:00 to 22:00.

🚇 Getting There & Parking

The festival is held between Government Complex Station and City Hall Station at Saemmori and Boramae Parks.

During the festival, from 11:00 on the 9th to 22:00 on the 11th, 12 nearby institution parking lots will be open.

These include Daejeon Seo-gu Office, Daejeon City Hall, Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education, Patent Court, Daejeon District Court and Prosecutors’ Office, Daejeon Police Agency, Seodaejeon Tax Office, Dunsan 1·2-dong Community Centers, Daejeon Dunsan Post Office, and the Korean Federation of Trade Unions Daejeon Branch parking lots.

There is no official information about parking fees.

👨‍👩‍👧 Tips for Visiting with Kids

The Experience Zone runs from 11:00 to 18:00, so it’s nice to enjoy hands-on activities during the day and then head to the Art Light Tunnel as the sun sets.

The bubble and drawing magic shows are mostly on Sunday the 11th. If you’re visiting with young children for just one day, Sunday daytime is best.

Since there are picnic mat sections at the main stage, bring a mat if you plan to stay for the evening performances.
