About

Seoul's summer programme on the Han River, spread across the riverside parks. Events include a raft race in homemade boats to pick fruit hung over the water, all-night screenings of nostalgic summer dramas and horror films with late-night food, jazz and K-pop concerts, a drone show flying over the river surface, DJ sets and hip-hop at an infinity pool overlooking the skyline, and traditional tightrope walking staged at a swimming area. There is a cinema under a bridge, a water picnic with activities for families at Seoul Battleship Park, silent-disco DJ parties and yoga with headsets, an overnight Han River walk now in its tenth year, and paddleboards, kayaks, yachts and cruises on the water. Mostly free, with some programmes charged.
