To mark its 20th anniversary, Seoul Forest will host a special cultural event titled “Twenty, Seoul Forest” from June 13 to June 22.

The celebration offers a range of exhibitions, performances, and hands-on programs that reflect on the past two decades and invite citizens to engage with the park’s present and future.

An archive exhibition at the Community Center will showcase Seoul Forest’s development over the years, while large display panels in the Family Yard will feature photos of the park’s earlier days. A life-size cake sculpture photo zone and an open piano for public use will add festive charm.

On weekends, live performances by indie musicians and Seoul-based artists will take place on the outdoor stage. Other activities include mobile stamp tours, gardening workshops, and family-friendly crafts like decorating “traveling birthday stones.”

A commemorative talk forum on June 18 from 2–4 p.m. will be livestreamed on YouTube.

All events are free, though some require advance reservation via yeyak.seoul.go.kr.
