Bottom line: According to the City of Seoul's official festival listing, the 25th Seoul Silver Grass Festival at Haneul Park ends today, October 23, 2026. Walking from Line 6's World Cup Stadium or Mapo-gu Office stations takes about 40 minutes on foot, so if you're going today, build in a ride inside the park rather than walking the whole way.

If you didn't know: Show up after tomorrow (October 24) without checking the end date, and the lighting show, busking stage and experience zones are all gone — only the silver grass field remains. And if you don't know the station is a 40-minute walk from the park, add the climb up to the observation deck inside and you could be walking for over an hour round trip.

25th Seoul Silver Grass Festival, October 17-23, 2026 (today is the last day) · Location: Haneul Park, Seoul World Cup Park · Take Line 6 to World Cup Stadium or Mapo-gu Office station, then walk about 40 minutes · Free admission as widely reported, with a lighting show, experience zones, busking and photo spots · Inquiries: 02-300-5574.

Late in the afternoon, the wind moves through the golden silver grass and makes a dry, rustling sound. One outlet described the spot as a trash mountain turned into a silver grass garden that draws 700,000 visitors — Haneul Park sits on what was Seoul's Nanji-do landfill until the 1990s. As the sun drops, lighting rigs flicker on between the grass stalks and a busking act takes the main stage. At the experience zone, visitors can make a small bouquet from silver grass stems, and there are photo spots and a wish-tree corner nearby. The walk from the station to the park entrance, and then from the entrance up to the observation deck, adds up — if your schedule is tight, consider a ride inside the park or a taxi instead.
