Hongdae Red Road R1–R2, Seoul
The first two sections of Hongdae's Red Road, a walkable cultural street near Hongik University Station. R1 has a small plaza and performance space, while R2 includes busking/exhibition areas and visitor facilities. These are public street sections, not a single admission-controlled festival venue. The free street book fair for the Seoul Wow Book Festival is scheduled here October 16–18; paid talks and performances are in separate indoor venues.
The Seoul Wow Book Festival's free outdoor book market is scheduled along R1/R2 October 16–18; its paid indoor program venues are elsewhere. Check organizer updates for times, access and rain changes.
Why go
