N Seoul Tower hosts night festival from 23 October

N Seoul Tower and the Namsan Night Festival are linked in Seoul's autumn programme from 23 October to 14 November 2026. The city event includes a night walk whose second route passes the tower before ending near Namsangol Hanok Village.

Namsan Night Festival brings evening events to Seoul

The Seoul Metropolitan Government is organising the Namsan Night Festival around Namsan Park. The official festival programme for 2026 gives the overall period as 23 October to 14 November 2026.

Namsan Campnic runs at Baekbeom Square on Fridays and Saturdays from 23 October to 7 November. Its programme combines music, film screenings and a radio-style show. The Autumn Foliage Walk starts at Namsan Yejang Park on 23 and 24 October and 6 and 7 November, while Palgak Club is scheduled for 14 November near the tower.

The November route passes N Seoul Tower

The connection between the festival and the landmark is clearest on the second walking course. The route starts at Namsan Yejang Park, passes N Seoul Tower and continues towards Namsangol Hanok Village. This gives the tower a defined place in the programme rather than treating it only as a distant city view.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government describes the second course as 4.2 kilometres, with departures at 4pm on 6 and 7 November. The first course on 23 and 24 October is 3.8 kilometres. The city also says that additional lighting and safety staff will be used along darker sections of the walking routes.

A 236.7-metre tower above Namsan Mountain

The tower stands at the summit of Namsan Mountain, which the official Seoul tourism guide lists as 262 metres high. The landmark itself is 236.7 metres tall and has two principal sections: the Lower Seoul Tower Plaza and the Upper N Seoul Tower.

The tower’s elevated position explains its role in the night programme. Campnic takes place at Baekbeom Square with the tower as a backdrop, while the November walking route reaches the landmark before descending towards a traditional village area. The official tower guide places it at 105 Namsangongwon-gil in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
