The Museum of Korean Modern Literature, under the Incheon Foundation for Arts and Culture, has announced the fourth Neighborhood Bookshop Festival for Saturday, October 31, 2026, at Incheon Art Platform. The central square hosts a book market and hands-on activities from noon to 6 p.m. The lobby of Building C features picture-book artwork and displays of books recommended by participating bookshops. Market activities and stage performances take place in different areas.
The published programme lists the shadow play 'A Train From Another Star' from noon to 1 p.m., the immersive show 'Come In, Come In' from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m., and an author-led picture-book activity 'The Bookworm's Secret Emergency Room' from 5 to 6 p.m. These performances are free, but the organiser describes Naver Form bookings on a first-come basis for 30 teams, opening October 19. Participants are to receive an individual message on October 30 and may enter 30 minutes before a show. Booking availability may already have changed.
Beyond buying books, visitors can encounter picture-book originals and see stories take shape as performance and participatory play.
