Banpo Romantic Moonlight Market

Gangnam & Southern Seoul


In warmer weather, the Banpo Bridge Park area becomes a festive night market with food trucks serving international cuisine – Indian, Vietnamese, pasta, burgers and even alcohol from trucks decked out in laser lights. There are music and cultural events, and plentiful craft stalls. Eat in the park while watching the Banpo Bridge Rainbow Fountain or stroll over to Some Sevit.
