Seoul will host an autumn night festival at Namsan Park in central Seoul from Oct. 23 to Nov. 7, offering outdoor camping, evening hikes and movie screenings to boost the local nighttime economy, the city government said Monday. The 2026 Namsan Night Festival will take place every Friday and Saturday over six days, culminating in a separate silent disco event on Nov. 14.
