2023 Halloween Events and Festivals in Korea

Halloween Festivities in Itaewon

Previously, Itaewon was the go-to destination in Seoul for spooky yet festive Halloween celebrations. However, the future of these festivities, particularly following last year’s tragic events, remains uncertain. What’s likely, though, is a heightened focus on crowd management. Despite this, Itaewon, known for its expatriate community, still promises an energetic Halloween atmosphere with numerous events and creative costumes. Look out for events and celebrations at nightclubs, bars, and restaurants, especially during the weekend preceding Halloween in Itaewon, Korea.

For a spontaneous adventure, meander through Itaewon’s alleyways to discover various Halloween happenings or inquire at your preferred venues about their scheduled events. Note, however, that there may be adjustments following the previous year’s crowd-related incident.
