Seoul Lantern Festival 2026

Seoul's signature winter light festival along Cheonggyecheon Stream. Hundreds of vibrant lanterns line the stream — from mythical creatures and historical figures to modern pop culture installations. Enjoy hands-on lantern-making workshops, traditional Korean music and dance performances, and street food vendors along the water. The lanterns are illuminated at night, making evening visits the most magical. Free admission. Located in central Seoul, easily walkable from Gwanghwamun or Jonggak stations.
