Hello everyone!


On a day when the autumn sky in Seoul was crystal clear, I happened to be passing by the plaza in front of City Hall when I stumbled upon the "Seoul Street Arts Festival 2025." Today, I'd like to introduce you to the Seoul Street Arts Festival 2025.

1️⃣ Introducing the Seoul Street Arts Festival 2025

The Seoul Street Arts Festival is Korea's largest street arts festival held every fall. This year, about 40 teams from 12 countries around the world participated. In front of City Hall, Seoul Plaza was set up with a large sculpture and a stage, and around it, cute Seoul character 'Haechi' balloons wearing traditional costumes were welcoming us. With the phrase "Chuseok, Seoul is full of joy, Haechi!", the entire city was brightened with the spirit of the festival.

The Seoul Street Arts Festival runs from October 5 to 9, 2025, daily from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM. A variety of performances, including dance, circus, street theater, and installation art, unfold across downtown Seoul—particularly at Seoul Plaza, Deoksugung-gil, Cheonggye Plaza, and Sejong-daero. I witnessed a performance in the middle of a plaza, where dancers danced to rhythm. Their movements mesmerized the sounds of the city, and the phrase "the moment when art seeps into the city" truly resonated with me.

The festival isn't just about stage performances; it blends various genres and formats. A major strength of this festival is that most street performances and installations are free to view! However, the festival information page notes that some special stages may require reservations or require a fee.

If you're an international student who wants to truly experience Seoul's autumn, I highly recommend visiting the Seoul Street Arts Festival next year. The vibrant energy of the festival, conveying emotions even across different languages, is truly impressive. Walking the streets itself becomes a performance, and the city itself becomes your stage for a truly special experience.


have a good day!
