Getting there from Seoul
The venue is already within Seoul, at the open plaza of Baebongsan Mountain Neighborhood Park in Dongdaemun-gu. Take the subway to a station in Dongdaemun-gu and continue by local bus or taxi, since the park sits on a hillside and may not be a short walk from the nearest station.
Tips
- It's a single-day event (17 October 2026) running only 12:00–17:00, so plan your visit within that window.
- Entry is free, but as a hillside neighbourhood park venue, wear comfortable walking shoes.
- Check local bus routes or use a taxi for the last stretch, as mountain park venues can have limited direct transit access.
Best for: families, local youth, basketball fans, community events.
