2026 Seoul Safety Fair Successfully Concludes at Yeouido Park

The 2026 Seoul Safety Fair was successfully held at Yeouido Park's Culture Square for three days, from September 17th to 19th. Organized by the Seoul Metropolitan Fire and Disaster Headquarters, this event is Korea's largest safety culture festival, offering a comprehensive experience where both children and adults can learn about safety in an engaging way.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, this year's Seoul Safety Fair featured 75 participating organizations and groups, offering 69 diverse safety experience programs across six fields, including fire, disaster, daily life safety, and traffic safety, all free of charge. Popular hands-on programs included fire truck and ambulance rides, smoke escape drills, aerial ladder truck experiences, and earthquake and CPR simulations. Convenient facilities like nursing rooms, rest areas, and lost child booths were also provided, enhancing the experience for families.

Bloggers highlighted the value of practical experience over verbal instruction for children, expressing satisfaction with the wide array of activities and prize events. They recommended visiting in the morning right after opening for popular experience booths due to long queues. Practical tips such as bringing hats and water, and wearing comfortable pants, were shared, underscoring the importance of safety education.
