Let’s visit the Han River in Seoul for a seasonal night market offering up many delicious food trucks, entertainment and more.

The Bamdokkaebi Night Market is back after a three-year hiatus due to COVID-19 and crowds are headed to the river to enjoy this favorite pastime.

Whenever I go to the night market, I love trying as much of the different food truck offerings. I was thrilled to be able to return after the long pause to see what I’d missed. Even though it was very crowded, it was nice to be able to feel the energy of an outdoor event.
