Baeknyeon Night Night Market “October 2026: WICKED”

About this event

Eat, play, and shop—the fun of enjoying the market is back once again. “Baeknyeon Night,” certified as the nation’s best night market in 2025, will take place at Baeknyeon Market in Gangbuk-gu, Seoul, from October 30 to 31, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. With the theme “WICKED,” capturing the spine-tingling atmosphere of late October, this event transforms the familiar market alleys into a whimsical and delightful playground for an autumn night. The core of Baeknyeon Night is the “Su-baek-i” system, which links shopping at the market with entertainment. Visitors can collect “Su-baek-i” points by presenting a receipt for purchases of 3,000 won or more at Baeknyeon Market, or by participating in on-site missions, events, and special themed interactive activities. These points can be exchanged for Baeknyeon Night merchandise, Baeknyeon Market gift certificates, Baeknyeon Jumaek makgeolli kits, and digital Onnuri gift certificates, while cocktails can be exchanged and enjoyed an unlimited number of times. This system rewards visitors for eating, drinking, and playing games in the market’s alleys, adding to the fun of exploring every corner of the market. The food offerings also reflect the unique character of the Centennial Market. In addition to “Centennial Tavern” makgeolli—crafted to capture the market’s atmosphere—and signature drinks from the Centennial Cocktail Bar, visitors can enjoy a variety of snacks and appetizers from market stalls, food trucks, and mobile stands. Visitors can enjoy the night according to their own preferences by moving between the stage featuring DJ music and performances, the Food Lounge where they can relax with a bite to eat, the Table Zone where they can gather with friends, and the Play Bunker where they can participate in games. Visitors also get to enjoy the fun of selecting music. “Baeknyeon Song Request” is a program where you can request a song by scanning a QR code on-site; the song is then broadcast throughout the market, depending on operational conditions and the playback schedule. The song you choose fills the market alleys, and people at different tables enjoy the same music together. At the DJ stage, professional festival DJs amp up the energy with their sets. It’s a night where you enjoy a delicious meal in the market alleys, exchange the “Suhbaegi” points you’ve earned through shopping and games for merchandise and cocktails, and meet new companions while listening to your requested songs together. Baeknyeon Night is a night market where visitors themselves bring it to life by combining the warmth of a traditional market with fun, music, and new connections.
