2026 PNU Glocal Halloween Night Market: Schedule, Free Activities, Food & Parking

If you’re looking for a Halloween festival in Busan in 2026, take a look at the event held in front of Pusan National University: Glocal Halloween Night Market.

A Halloween-themed night market will be held for 3 days, from Friday, October 30 to Sunday, November 1, in the alleys of PNU’s Mannam-gil.

​

Along with food and street performances, there will be face painting, glow-bracelet making, and photo spots, making it a popular option for a date or a weekend outing with children.

Above all, free activities and a prize event for receipts from local shopsare a highlight.

The 2026 Busan Glocal Halloween Night Market will take place on PNU’s Mannam-gil in Jangjeon-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Busan.

The event is open daily from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

​

You could spend the day exploring the shops around PNU and then visit the night market in the evening.

Admission fees, food prices, and performance schedules are not clear from the information provided, so check on-site on the day of your visit.

In addition to food stalls, the event will offer activities visitors can take part in themselves.

​

Face painting and glow-bracelet makingare among the featured free activities.

Face painting involves having a Halloween design painted on your face or the back of your hand, while glow-bracelet making lets you make a bracelet yourself.

If you’re visiting with children, you could stop by the activity booths first, then take photos at the photo spots.

​

At the Halloween photo spots, you can use the provided props to take commemorative photos, and at the chalk art zone, you can take part by drawing on the ground.

The alleys will also feature various food stalls and busking performances.

​

The lively atmosphere of the PNU shopping district will combine with the Halloween night market to create a distinctive fall evening experience.

For the most accurate information on menus, prices, and performance start times, check on-site.

If you plan to shop or dine in the PNU area during the event, check out the prize event for receipts totaling 20,000 won or more.

You can enter with a receipt from a meal or purchase at shops in Jangjeon 2-dong during the event.

Prizes may run out and the event may close early.

​

If you plan to eat or shop near PNU, remember to keep your receipt.

​

Check with the information booth to find out whether multiple receipts can be combined and how many times one person can enter.

PNU’s Mannam-gil is in a university shopping district that is usually busy with visitors.

The area may be crowded during the event, and nearby roads are relatively narrow, so taking the subway rather than driving is more convenient if possible.

​

It’s about a 5-minute walk from Exit 3 of Pusan National University Station on Busan Metro Line 1 to the event venue.

If you’re visiting with children, consider arriving early after the 4 p.m. opening to explore the free activities and photo spots first.

However, wait times and booth operations may vary depending on visitor numbers.

To add more to your Busan travel itinerary, you could also look into an autumn photo session at Beomeosa Temple in Geumjeong-gu. This is a separate offering and is not part of the Halloween market.
