2026 Gangguan Festa Schedule, Water Stage Performances & Activities Guide — Tongyeong Gangguan Night Out with Kids

A fall night festival is coming
to the seaside at Gangguan 🌊

Gangguan Festa will be held
this week on October 10 (Sat)
from 17:00 to 22:00
at the Gangguan area in Tongyeong
(Gangguan Munhwa Madang).

This is a summary
of Tongyeong City’s press release
and weekly event plan from September 29.

🎪 What Kind of Event Is It?

This festival is jointly hosted and organized
by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Gyeongsangnam-do, and Tongyeong-si.

The stage is the Gangguan Media Port,
created as part of the Southern Region Tourism Development Project.
The festival incorporates media art at the Munhwa Madang, a musical fountain,
and waterfront scenery throughout the event.

Tongyeong City describes this festival as
a ‘nighttime stay-type festival blending live music performances on the sea,
listening sessions, hands-on activities, and a marketplace.‘
It’s an evening event where you can watch, listen, make, and relax.

✨ What’s Happening When?

It’s a one-day event, so you just need to check the schedule.
Here’s a table by time slot.

There is no official announcement
of the order or times for each performance team.

🎸 What Performances Are There?

Performances start at 18:00
on the water stage.
Kadi, Garlic Pasta Social Club,
and Band Mag will perform.

Kadi is a Korean rock music group
that blends geomungo (Korean zither) and rock sounds.
They participated as music director for
’2026 National Heritage Media Art Tongyeong’
and created the theme song for Sebyeonggwan,
‘Star Road: Age of Light.’

This song was released on September 26
through YG Plus,
and will be performed live
on this stage.

🎨 What Activities Are There?

There will be things to enjoy
for both kids and adults
throughout the venue.

The listening session is a program
where you can enjoy the musical fountain and
media art together.
Tongyeong City picked this as
the signature program of Gangguan nights.

There is no official information
on activity material fees or how to sign up.

🍢 What About the Market and Food?

At the flea market,
you can find local handmade crafts,
and at the youth food stalls,
various late-night snacks are available.

There’s also a QR stamp tour
connecting the entire venue.
Complete the mission and
you’ll receive a
5,000 won discount coupon
for use at the event,
while supplies last!

🚌 Getting There & Parking

The Gangguan Festa guide
does not include transportation or parking information.

The guide for the National Heritage Media Art Tongyeong
event at nearby Tongjeyeong during the same period
(from Tongyeong Cultural Foundation) lists bus options.

That guide notes that traffic and parking
near the venue will be congested,
so please use public transportation.
Since it’s Saturday evening,
consider taking the bus first.

👨‍👩‍👧 If You’re Going with Kids

The activities and market open at 17:00,
and the water stage performance starts at 18:00.
If you arrive around 17:00,
you can enjoy activities first, then the performance.

Only Live Sketch
is listed as ‘operating from 14:00.‘
It’s a program for all ages,
from kids to adults.

Since it’s an evening event by the sea,
it’s a good idea to bring an extra jacket for your child.
