2026 Busan Youth Week: Faces of Busan

The 8th Busan Youth Week celebrates Korea's Youth Day with three days of cultural activities, performances, networking, wellness programs, and youth-focused experiences. The 2026 theme is “Faces of Busan” (부산의 얼굴들), built around the concept of Busan's sea and its young people coming together in a festival inspired by masks and personal identity.

Programs include the Youth Day eve celebration, official Youth Day ceremony, concerts, DJ performances, a masquerade networking event, flea market and food vendors, youth participation booths, running, yoga and meditation, group boxing, costume activities, and programs at youth spaces around Busan. General festival activities at the main venue operate approximately 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with the final day ending at 7:00 PM.
