What is different this year?
The stage moves from Yeongdong-daero to Dosan-daero. Gangnam district mayor Kim Hyun-ki said the festival is "a local festival that residents create and enjoy together, and a global festival that draws people from around the world," adding that "this year, for the first time, we will stage a festival on Dosan-daero that brings together Gangnam's culture, K-pop, fashion and food." Last year's edition remains on KOPIS as the Gangnam Festival Yeongdong-daero K-POP Concert.
A large-scale street parade is also a first for the festival. The grand parade runs from 4pm to 6pm on 3 October along roughly 2km from Cheongdam intersection to Dosan Park intersection, with residents of all 22 Gangnam neighbourhoods marching alongside seven themed structures spelling GANGNAM.
The festival has also been shortened from its former four to five days to three. Herald Business reported the change was made in consideration of disruption to residents.
What else is on besides the K-pop concert?
A family concert runs at 7pm on 3 October, open on a first-come basis with no booking required. Seven acts perform — Nam Jin, Kim Won-jun, Roo'ra, Space A, Lim Chang-jung, Hong Kyung-min and Hong Ji-yoon — followed by a DJ party from 9pm.
A fashion and beauty festa and a beer and food festa both run from 10am to 10pm on 3 and 4 October, and Maru Park hosts KBS Gugak Hanmadang at 6pm on 3 October. On 5 October there is the Gangnam International Peace Marathon at 8am and a temple music concert at Bongeunsa at 6pm.
As of writing, the 2026 Gangnam Festival was not registered with KOPIS, Korea's performing-arts information system.
