The 21st Busan Fireworks Festival is on Saturday, 7 November 2026, in the Gwangalli Beach, Igidae and Dongbaekseom area [1]. This page gathers what the official sites state so far and marks what is still to be announced. Details such as subway extensions can change, so check the linked official pages before you go.

Watching on the live cams
KORIVU shows two Busan cameras: Gwangalli (the player above) and Haeundae. The festival area is named as Gwangalli, Igidae and Dongbaekseom. Dongbaekseom is the headland at the western end of Haeundae Beach, so it is covered by KORIVU's Haeundae page rather than the Gwangalli one.
What each camera frames during the show depends on how the operator points it, and KORIVU cannot promise that the fireworks will be in view. Broadcasts are run by the camera operators and may pause or end, so rely on the provider's live indicator and timestamp. If the video above does not play, an off-air notice replaces it with official links.
Areas on site
The official site names three areas [3]. It does not publish viewing zones or crowd guidance for free viewing; the seat chart menu on the official site was empty when checked.
- Gwangalli Beach. The main beachfront area with Gwangandaegyo Bridge in front. The official location page gives Line 2, Gwangan Station, Exit 3 [3].
- Igidae. The official page says to take Line 2 to Gyeongseong·Pukyong Univ. Station and transfer to a bus [3].
- Dongbaekseom. The official page lists Line 2, Dongbaek Station, Exit 1 [3].
Bus routes and stops for each area are on the official location page; they are not repeated here to avoid errors.
Getting there & traffic control
- Public transport is recommended. The official page expects congestion on the day and says no parking is provided nearby [3].
- Traffic control notice (2026). The official traffic-control notice lists Gwangandaegyo Bridge restrictions from 2 to 8 November, and staged road control on 7 November starting at 10:00 and extending in later stages through the afternoon and evening, with a note that control may be tightened depending on the situation [4]. The sections and times are in the notice image, so open it rather than relying on this summary.
- Extended subway service, shuttles and parking: To be announced officially. We did not find them on the official pages when checked on 2026-10-30. Check the festival traffic page and Busan City.
Paid seats
- Where: sold through NOL Ticket [5].
- Booking period: from 4 September 2026 (Fri) 14:00 to 6 November 2026 (Fri) 17:00 [1].
- Prices and seat zones: not shown on the official pages we checked; see the ticket page [5].
The official site carries a notice against illegal ticket resale, so buy only through the official channel.
Going home
This section is KORIVU's own advice, not an official notice.
- Expect the road and subway around the venue to be crowded when the show ends at about 20:00 on the schedule above. Decide in advance where you will go and how.
- Roads near the venue are under staged control, so do not plan on a taxi or a car pick-up right at the beach. Meeting somewhere outside the controlled area is easier.
- The official page names several stations for the three areas [3]. Walking to a less busy station can be quicker than waiting at the nearest one.
- Check the last train before the festival; extended service has not been announced as of 2026-10-30.
- Stay with your group and keep an eye on children and belongings in the crowd.
