Looking for a memorable way to experience summer in Seoul? The 2026 Namsan VIEWMAC Festival is bringing together refreshing beer, delicious food, live music and one of the city’s most iconic night views at N Seoul Tower.
Taking place over two weekends—15–16 August and 22–23 August 2026—the festival transforms the N Seoul Tower plaza into a lively summer destination where visitors can relax above the city and enjoy an evening filled with food, drinks and entertainment. The event is scheduled to run from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM on all four festival days.
Festival dates, time, venue and address.
More Than 20 Draft Beers to Explore
One of the main attractions is the VIEWMAC Tap Zone, offering unlimited pours from a selection of more than 20 draft beers.
The line-up brings together well-known international beer brands and popular Korean craft breweries, giving visitors the opportunity to discover different lagers, ales and speciality brews while overlooking the Seoul skyline.
Food Made for Beer
No beer festival is complete without great food. Visitors can explore food booths serving dishes created to pair with different drinks, including Korean fried chicken, meat dishes, rice cakes and other festival favourites.
N Seoul Tower’s food and beverage brands will also introduce special pairing menus inspired by popular combinations such as chimaek—fried chicken and beer—and other Korean-style beer pairings. Food purchases may be charged separately depending on the ticket package.
Music, Games and Summer-Night Entertainment
As the sun sets, the festival atmosphere continues with the Summer Stage, featuring live DJ performances against the backdrop of Seoul’s illuminated cityscape.
Visitors can also participate in beer-themed games, explore photo zones and enjoy interactive festival activities throughout the venue. It is an ideal summer-night experience for couples, groups of friends and travellers searching for something different to do in Seoul after dark.
