Good to know
What is on in Seoul this weekend, 6 to 8 November?
292 dated events fall across Friday to Sunday (164 exhibitions, 60 performances, 18 activities and classes, 13 festivals, 12 markets, 7 nightlife events, 6 concerts, 5 illuminations, 4 sports events, 2 food events and 1 garden). 1 regular market runs as well. Each listing opens on the interactive map.
What can you do in Seoul on a weekend with no plans?
Pick one area per day rather than crossing the city. Cooler, with an average high of 12°C. Seoul's normal first snow comes on 20 November, and the Marathon, the DDP Autumn Festival and the museum season fill the month.
How often is this page updated?
The weekend moves forward each time the site is rebuilt, and an event drops off the page the day after it ends.
