2026 Gwangjin Family Festival Schedule, Outdoor Movie, Parking — Before Visiting Seoul Children’s Grand Park Guuimun with Kids

It’s a perfect autumn weekend 🍂
to spread out a picnic mat on the lawn.

The 2026 Gwangjin Family Festival
will be held on October 10 (Sat) from 15:00 to 20:30
at Seoul Children’s Grand Park
Guuimun Lawn Plaza.

It’s the second day of the Hangeul Day holiday.

I’ve organized the Gwangjin-gu press release (October 7)
and the Children’s Grand Park event schedule.

🎪 About the Festival

This is a cultural festival
for the whole family, hosted by Gwangjin-gu.

During the day, families can
participate and enjoy hands-on activities,
and in the evening, the day wraps up
with an outdoor movie.

It starts with a writing and drawing contest
for families, followed by performances,
experience booths, and a flea market,
ending with a movie screening on the lawn.

Admission to Seoul Children’s Grand Park
is free.

✨ What’s Happening When?

I’ve put together the programs
from the press release in a table by time.

The movie is an outdoor screening
where families can sit together on picnic mats.

🎷 Other Events in the Park That Day

On the October schedule for Children’s Grand Park,
there are other stage performances on the same day.

How to participate in Aja Runner
is not listed in the park schedule.

You could watch the 14:00 jazz performance first
and then move over to the festival.

🚇 Directions & Parking

The event is at the Guuimun Lawn Plaza.
There are buses that stop right in front of Guuimun.

If you come by subway, enter through the main or back gate
and walk through the park toward Guuimun.
Walking time is not listed in the park guide.

There are 4 parking lots,
all open from 09:00 to 22:00.

The fee is 150 won per 5 minutes for passenger cars.
Drivers with a Seoul Multi-Child Happiness Card (2 or more children)
get a 50% discount.

The park guide says the main gate parking lot
fills up first on weekends and holidays.
Back gate and Guuimun parking lots are recommended.

👨‍👩‍👧 If You’re Going with Kids

The writing and drawing contest runs until 18:00,
and the outdoor movie starts at 18:30.
If you have dinner during the 30-minute break,
you can enjoy both programs in a row.

The park zoo is open from 10:00 to 17:00,
so you can visit the zoo in the morning
and head to the festival in the afternoon.

You cannot bring alcohol or cooking equipment
into the park.
Bicycles, kickboards, and inline skates
are also not allowed inside.

Since the movie is outdoors after sunset,
it’s a good idea to bring an extra jacket for your child.
