2026 Baedari Bookshop Gathering on October 24: Separate Book-Talk Bookings

A one-day gathering of bookshop owners from around Korea and Vietnam at Incheon's Baedari used-book district.

Why it matters now

The street festival runs 11:00–18:00 on October 24, but individual bookstore talks and performances have their own start times and booking links. Plan your route around the sessions.

Examples include a 15:00–16:00 performance at Samsung Seorim, a 14:30–15:30 talk with Suncheon's Hyeongseol Bookshop at Abel Bookshop, and a 16:00–17:00 Jeonju book talk at Nabi Nalda.
