November 2026 in Seoul: 5 Events Foreigners Should Know
November is your last big autumn moment in Seoul: night views on Namsan, international coffee and food shows, design inspiration, and performances across the city.
November evenings are especially good for seeing Seoul from a different angle.
01 · AUTUMN NIGHT
2026 Namsan Night Festival
October 23–November 14 · Namsan Park
Try a music-and-film picnic at Baekbeom Plaza, take an autumn foliage walk, or join a silent-headphone DJ party near N Seoul Tower. It is a relaxed way to see autumn lights and city views with friends.
Official festival information → Advance booking and refundable deposits may apply.
02 · PERFORMING ARTS
2026 SEOUL AUTUMN FESTA
September 18–November 29 · Seoul-wide
This is not one venue—it is a city-wide season of theatre, dance, music, traditional arts, and other cultural programmes. November is a good time to look for individual performances that match your schedule and interests.
Official festival information → Prices and venues vary by programme.
COEX becomes a particularly useful November destination for coffee, food, and design lovers.
03 · COFFEE CULTURE
The 25th Seoul Int’l Cafe Show
November 11–14 · COEX Halls A–D
Coffee, tea, bakery, desserts, chocolate, equipment, interiors, and café trends all come together here. It is ideal for people who love Seoul’s café scene—or want to understand the business behind it.

04 · FOOD & DISCOVERY
Food Week Korea 2026

Discover Korean and international food trends in one place, from bakery, desserts, beverages, wine, and snacks to vegan, alternative, and functional food. It is a useful stop for food lovers and culinary students.

05 · DESIGN & CREATIVITY
Seoul Design Festival 2026

Make your November easier: choose the right Seoul base
A good event plan is not only about what you want to do. It is also about where you return to afterwards. A practical room near a subway line gives you more time for Seoul’s festivals, cafés, food, and new friendships—and less time on long commutes.
For easier access to COEX, Namsan, and Seoul-wide events.
For practical monthly planning and a simpler first stay.
For students and expats who want a more connected home base.
