2026 Busan Yeongdo Bridge Festival Schedule and Fireworks Update | Parking, Shuttle Buses, and Kid-Friendly Programs

If you’re looking for a weekend festival to enjoy with kids in Busan, the 2026 Busan Yeongdo Bridge Festivalis worth adding to your calendar.

​

Now in its 34th year, the Yeongdo Bridge Festival will run from Friday, October 30, to Sunday, November 1, for three days in Yeongdo-gu, Busan.

​

This year’s festival theme is “Yeongdo Bridge: Connecting Time, Connecting People”. Set against the history of Yeongdo Bridge and the waters of Busan, this popular local event features performances, children’s activities, food, and a seaborne fireworks show.

Admission to the festival grounds is free,

but food and some activities may cost extra.

The 2026 Yeongdo Bridge Festival has different locations and programs on different dates, so check the schedule for the performances you want to see before visiting.

Most importantly, note that the date and location of the seaborne fireworks show have officially changed.

The seaborne fireworks show was initially scheduled for October 30 at Bongnae-dong Mulyangjang, but an official notice on October 28 moved it to Amir Park on November 1.

The walk-across-Yeongdo-Bridge performance scheduled for 14:00 on October 31 is separate from the bridge-opening event, when the bridge deck is physically raised. Check separately whether the bridge will open.

※ Busking and performances at the Bongnae-dong Mulyangjang secondary stage (Yeongdo Tourist Information Center performance venue) run intermittently on weekends

​

Amir Park will have a sea library, eco-friendly wooden playground, activity booths, and food trucks. Times in the schedule indicate program start times and may change depending on conditions at the venue.

​

It’s best to check on-site notices as you move around.

If you’re planning to enjoy the festival with kids, take a look at the children’s programs at Amir Park on Saturday, October 31.

Kids can play and read at the wooden playground and sea library, and there will also be a children’s festival and chef’s cooking show.

The National Maritime Museum is next to Amir Park, making it convenient to visit along with the festival.

For a family outing,we recommend visiting the National Maritime Museum after enjoying children’s activities at Amir Park. Check the museum’s hours and closing days before you go.

If you also plan to see the Yeongdo Bridge performance at 2 p.m. on Saturday, allow plenty of time to travel between the two event venues.

Sunday is a good day for an outing centered on performances, with a singing contest, a performance by Jadu, and the seaborne fireworks show scheduled.

The festival takes place at two locations: Bongnae-dong Mulyangjang and Amir Park. The venues are not an easy walk from one another, so plan your travel between them in advance.

The free shuttle does not operate throughout the entire festival. According to the official notice, it runs on Saturday and Sunday. No shuttle service is listed for Friday, October 30.

The shuttle leaves from Exit 6 at Nampo Station, stops at the stop opposite the Yeongdo-gu Funeral Hall at Bongnae-dong Mulyangjang, and then loops to Amir Park. On the return trip, it goes via Ddanggeut Church to Nampo Station.

To be safe, check on-site notices for the last bus time and whether stops are operating.

Bongnae-dong Mulyangjang can be reached on foot from Nampo Station by crossing Yeongdo Bridge. To get to Amir Park, consider taking the shuttle, a city bus, or a taxi.

It’s difficult to say for certain that dedicated free parking is available for the festival. Parking near the National Maritime Museum may be an option, but check availability, fees, and operating conditions before visiting.

After exploring the festival grounds, make the most of your outing by visiting nearby attractions in Yeongdo as well.

You could visit the National Maritime Museum to see exhibits related to the sea and maritime culture, then enjoy the seascape at Amir Park.

Yeongdo also has sightseeing routes featuring coastal scenery and various travel products, so you can add activities to suit your family’s ages and interests. Nearby tourist products are separate from the official festival program.

You can also take a Yotahari public yacht tour separately in Yeongdo. It is not part of the festival program, so check the product page for available dates and terms.

When traveling with kids, bring an extra layer to block the sea breeze, water, and snacks. If you’re using a stroller, think ahead about crowded areasas well.

If you’re watching the fireworks, earplugs can help children who are sensitive to loud noises. Stay with your children and make sure they do not go close to the shore beyond the safety barriers.

At the 2026 Busan Yeongdo Bridge Festival, enjoy performances and children’s activities against the backdrop of Yeongdo Bridge’s history and the sea.

​

If children’s activities are your priority, consider Amir Park on Saturday, October 31; if you’re interested in performances and the seaborne fireworks show, consider Amir Park on Sunday, November 1first.

​

On Friday, an opening ceremony and celebratory performance by Jeong Mi-ae are scheduled at Bongnae-dong Mulyangjang.

The fireworks show has been moved to November 1. Performance times and parking conditions may change depending on circumstances at the venue.

Check the weather and latest event notices before setting out, and allow plenty of time to travel between venues for a more relaxed family weekend in Busan.
