Yangjae Art Salon Children’s Week: May 2–3 Program Guide for Families

Yangjae Art Salon Children’s Week is scheduled for May 2–3, 2026, as the first May weekend program of the 2026 Yangjae Art Salon season. The Children’s Day-themed program, styled in Korean as “Children WEEK,” is centered on family-friendly making activities, playground-style experiences, and performance shows along Yangjaecheon.¹

For parents planning a short weekend visit, the key detail is timing: the special Children’s Week programs run from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Yangjae Art Salon Healing Lounge and the Yangjaecheon grass plaza area.¹ The broader spring market continues on Saturdays and Sundays from April 18 through May 17, 2026, so the Children’s Week program fits inside a longer weekend market season rather than standing alone.²

Yangjae Art Salon Children’s Week at a Glance

The official schedule identifies May 2–3 as Children’s Week and organizes the weekend by area, with performance shows placed at the Sunset Stage and family activities such as the wooden playground and children’s drawing contest listed for the Healing Lounge.² Seocho District’s notice also lists hands-on and play-focused programs including carnation cupcake making, a coloring playground, a wooden playground, Park Jae-geun’s Magic Wandering Troupe performance, and Baek In-cheol’s Magic Bubble Show.¹

A practical way to read the schedule is to treat the 3:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m. block as the main family activity window. Families who want the Children’s Week content should prioritize arriving before that block begins, then choosing between hands-on activities and performance viewing depending on children’s age, attention span, and crowd conditions.

What to Do First When Planning a Visit

Start with the official Yangjae Art Salon schedule because the weekend is split by venue and program type. The Sunset Stage is the clearest place to look for performance shows, while the Healing Lounge is the main reference point for play and children’s participation programs.² If your group includes young children, it is sensible to decide in advance whether the priority is a show, a making activity, or open-ended play.

The event takes place as part of a larger spring culture program along Yangjaecheon. Yonhap News reported that Seocho District is operating the spring Yangjae Art Salon from April 3 to May 17, 2026, around the Yangjaecheon area, including the section from Yeongdong 1 Bridge to the waterside stage and the Yangjaecheon-gil area.³ That broader setting matters because visitors may encounter market stalls, walking traffic, and other spring festival programming in addition to the Children’s Week activities.

The Yangjae Art Salon itself is described as an art market involving craft artists and local small businesses, with handmade goods, lifestyle items, and local commercial content presented around the event area.⁴ For families, that means the visit can combine children’s programs with a market walk, but the child-focused schedule should come first if time is limited.

Seocho District Mayor Jeon Seong-su described the festival as “Seocho District’s representative local culture festival made together by local small business owners, craft artists, and residents.”³ The quote is useful context for understanding the event’s local-market character, but the May 2–3 weekend is specifically framed around children’s participation and family entertainment.

Nearby Family Options Around Yangjaecheon

Children’s Week is not the only family-oriented outdoor option mentioned in the source material. Asia Economy reported that the earlier Yangjae Art Salon cherry blossom market in early April drew 100,000 visitors and that participating small businesses recorded 220 million won in sales; the same report noted the spring market running every weekend from April 18 to May 17 and identified May 2–3 as the Children’s Day “Children’s Salon Playground” period.⁵

The report also pointed to nearby outdoor activity spaces, including a 26-meter zipline at the Yangjaecheon–Yeouicheon confluence and the Yangjaecheon swimming pool site’s “Bom Bom Playground.”⁵ Separately, Seocho District announced that “Bom Bom Playground” opened on April 4, 2026, using the former Yangjaecheon sledding area and swimming pool facilities, with 11 attractions such as a mini Viking ride, small train, water ball, hand boat, and trampoline. It is scheduled to operate through May 10, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.⁶

That gives families a possible full-day structure: use the earlier part of the day for nearby play options if appropriate, then move toward Yangjae Art Salon for the 3:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m. Children’s Week program. The sources do not provide ticketing, reservation, fee, or cancellation details for the Children’s Week activities, so visitors should rely on the official Yangjae Art Salon schedule and Seocho District notices for any updates before going.
