Close out the month in style at the 18th Busan Port Festival, May 30 and 31, across scenic waterfront venues including Busan Port International Passenger Terminal, Chinsu Park and the National Maritime Museum.
Launched in 2018 to honor Marine Day, May 31, this annual celebration highlights Busan’s maritime heritage with exciting performances, interactive programs and cultural showcases.
This year, the fun gets a K-culture upgrade thanks to a special collaboration with MyK Festa, a celebration of Korean culture hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
The highlight of the festival is a K-pop concert at 7 p.m. on May 30 featuring globally beloved idol groups such as Super Junior-D&E, CNBlue, N.Flying and ITZY. The concert ends with a spectacular fireworks display over Busan Port.
Concert tickets go on sale at 7 p.m. on May 21 via Melon Ticket. Tickets cost 5,000 won each, and purchases are limited to two per person. Capacity is limited to 10,000 attendees, so grab yours early!
On May 31, festivalgoers can dive into family-friendly programs like Global Port Park, boat tours and K-pop cover dance performances at Chinsu Park. At the National Maritime Museum, the Mission Stamp Tour offers a fun and educational way to reflect on Marine Day’s significance.
