Grand Mint Festival

Oct 17, 2026 – Oct 18, 2026 · Olympic Park, Seoul

The Grand Mint Festival (GMF) is Seoul's signature autumn indie and acoustic festival, held every October at Olympic Park since 2007. Its character is deliberately mellow — indie, band sound, acoustic and singer-songwriter pop rather than the EDM or hip-hop of summer festivals — with a relaxed, picnic-like mood as crowds spread across the park's lawns and lakeside in crisp fall weather, across four stages. The 2026 lineup spans Younha, CNBLUE, N.Flying, Roy Kim, Jang Ki-ha, Peppertones, Thornapple and many more. It's a genuinely local, low-key event that rewards visitors who come for the music and the setting.
