Garak Oktoberfest

As the cool autumn breeze begins to blow, the “3rd Garak Oktoberfest”—Garak Market’s signature fall festival—is finally kicking off. This is your chance to savor the romance of an autumn night at Garak Mall, which will be filled with delicious food, refreshing craft beer, and a variety of atmospheric activities. The event will take place for three days, from Friday, October 16, 2026, to Sunday, October 18, 2026, daily from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM at Sky Park on the 3rd floor of Garak Mall. Admission is completely free, and visitors are free to enjoy their favorite beers and snacks at the various booths. There are three key highlights of this festival. First, leading craft breweries from across the country will gather in one place. From light and refreshing lagers to full-bodied ales and zesty fruit-flavored beers, visitors can enjoy the pleasure of choosing exactly what suits their taste. Second, “Special Snack Stalls” featuring the unique freshness of Garak Market will be open. From savory butter-grilled abalone—prepared by Garak Mall vendors themselves—to chicken that pairs perfectly with beer, high-quality dishes made on the spot with fresh, seasonal ingredients will be available. Third, the festival is packed with lively sights and activities. Starting with a spectacular parade on the first day to kick off the festivities, the event features a variety of attractions, including atmospheric busking performances, the “Garak Amusement Hall” with interactive games for the public, and a generous prize raffle. Getting there is also very convenient. Exit 2-1 of Garak Market Station (Subway Lines 3 and 8) is directly connected to Haneul Park, making it easy to reach by public transportation. Haneul Park features a spacious outdoor “dining area,” perfect for enjoying the unique atmosphere of an autumn night festival. However, as the wind can turn chilly after sunset, it’s a good idea to bring a light jacket. You can create unforgettable memories of an autumn night at the “3rd Garak Oktoberfest,” which is brimming with autumn romance and fresh fun.
