Gwangalli M(Marvelous) Drone Light Show
Jan 1 – Dec 31, 2026
Held since 2022, the Gwangalli M(Marvelous) Drone Light Show takes its name from "M," meaning 'Marvelous' — amazing and wondrous. The lights emitted by the drones blend with the night view of Gwangan Bridge, a landmark of Busan, to offer visitors to Gwangalli a sense of wonder and mystery. The show runs twice every Saturday evening (winter season October–February: 7 PM and 9 PM / summer season March–September: 8 PM and 10 PM) for about 12 minutes, and can be viewed from anywhere along Gwangalli Beach. Shows range from the regular weekly performance featuring 1,100 drones to larger-scale shows of up to 3,000 drones for events such as countdowns, Seollal, and Chuseok.
