The 2026 Seoul International Fireworks Festival will be held on Saturday, September 5th, around Yeouido Hangang Park. This year, a pre-festival event on September 4th extends the celebration to two days, with the main event spanning from Mapo Bridge to Hangang Railway Bridge. The main fireworks show is scheduled from 8:00 PM to 9:10 PM, featuring diverse displays from teams representing the UK, USA, and Korea.
The festival's theme is 'Your Infinite Colors,' and the Korean team's performance will uniquely incorporate tower fireworks utilizing Wonhyo Bridge, alongside fireworks displaying phrases like 'SEOUL,' 'HANWHA,' and 'NETFLIX' for the first time. Nodeul Island will operate as a pre-booked paid viewing area called the Orange Play Zone, while Ichon Hangang Park is considered a prime free viewing spot. Last year, ticket reservations for Nodeul Island saw a competitive ratio of 150 to 1, indicating high demand.
To fully enjoy the fireworks festival, securing a good viewing spot in advance, such as the paid Nodeul Island Orange Play Zone or the free Ichon Hangang Park, is crucial. Nodeul Island offers a direct front view of the fireworks with less crowd congestion, ensuring a comfortable experience. While Yeouido Hangang Park provides an immersive atmosphere, extreme crowding is expected, necessitating early tent setup in the morning.
