Jamsugyo Gourmet Road 2026

For one day on October 4, 2026, Jamsugyo Bridge becomes a large car-free food street from 14:00 to 22:00. Seoul’s official Hangang guide lists around 100 food trucks serving Korean, American, Vietnamese, Indian and other cuisines, plus an outdoor dining zone with seating for up to 800 people. The program is free to enter and open for walk-in visits; food purchases are paid separately. The broader Car-Free Jamsugyo festival also includes recurring rest areas, craft booths, performances, food stalls and fountain views. Weather, sellouts, allergen labeling, individual vendor payment methods and accessibility at peak times were not independently tested.

Official information

Why it matters now

The event is today, October 4, from 14:00 to 22:00, with more than 100 food trucks and an outdoor dining zone for up to 800 people. It is also a useful way to experience Seoul’s broader experiment with using Jamsugyo as pedestrian public space before the bridge’s planned full pedestrianization in 2027.
