Get ready to be amazed as fireworks light up Seoul's night sky at this year's Seoul World Fireworks Festival! We give you all the details you need to know before you go!
This annual event takes place in the autumn each year, usually the first weekend in October and this year it is set for October 5th! I have to say that I am so excited for the firework festival as I was unable to attend it last year. In fact, this has been an annual event since the year 2000, and I hope that it continues for many more years to come.
Visitors at the event can expect to see around 100,000 fireworks light up the Seoul skyline with an audience of around 20,000 people, though it is estimated that around 120,000 people will see the fireworks from central Seoul.
If you head down to the river before 6:30 PM you should be more likely to get a better spot to see the show, as the show begins at 7:30 PM and ends at 8:30 PM. Around the event area, mini events happening throughout the day from 1:00 PM in the Yeouido area including food & drink stalls are also located along the river bank.
I have been to Yeouido Park many times throughout my time in Korea, and it always holds special memories for me. I find the place very relaxing and its perfect because it is located right in the heart of Seoul. I do really recommend that you take time out of your schedule and head down to the firework festival, and don't forget to tag us in your photos!
The fireworks show is FREE. While you may end up paying for food and drinks and maybe even a Han River Cruise for an even better view, the show itself is free!
