As cool autumn breezes arrive, the 3rd Garak Oktoberfest opens as Garak Market’s signature autumn festival. Garak Mall will offer food, craft beer and entertainment for an autumn evening outdoors. The event runs for 3 days, from Friday, October 16 to Sunday, October 18, 2026, daily from 16:00 to 22:00, at the Sky Park on the 3rd floor of Garak Mall. Admission is entirely free, and visitors can choose the beer and food stalls they wish to use. There are three main highlights. First, craft breweries from across Korea gather in one place, offering choices from light lagers to flavourful ales and fruity beers. Second, special food stalls showcase Garak Market’s fresh ingredients. Garak Mall merchants prepare dishes on site with seasonal produce, from butter-grilled abalone to chicken that pairs with beer. Third, entertainment begins with a first-day parade and includes busking, the participatory Garak Orakgwan games and prize draws. The source states that Exit 2-1 of Garak Market Station on subway lines 3 and 8 connects directly to the Sky Park. Open-air dining seats offer an autumn evening atmosphere. Bring a light outer layer because the wind may become chilly after sunset. The 3rd Garak Oktoberfest offers an autumn evening of food and entertainment.
