Jamsil Hangang Park Drone Show Guide: May 5 Star Wars Special Performance

The Jamsil Hangang Park drone show is the Star Wars-themed special performance in Seoul’s 2026 Hangang Light Performance drone light show program. The Star Wars drone show is listed for Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at Jamsil Hangang Park, with 2,000 drones, free viewing, and weather-dependent operations.¹

For visitors, the main planning points are the evening showtime, the Jamsil Hangang Park location, the lack of a ticket fee, and the need to check official updates before going if rain or other poor weather is possible. The event is part of the 2026 first-half drone light show schedule running across Yeouido, Ttukseom, and Jamsil Hangang Parks from April 10 to June 5.²

Jamsil Hangang Park Drone Show Essentials

Seoul’s official event notice identifies the May 5 Jamsil Hangang Park round as a Walt Disney collaboration and a “Star Wars special performance.” It also notes that on-site events are planned alongside the drone performance, making this date distinct from the other 2026 Hangang Light Performance rounds.¹

The official drone show site lists the drone light show time as 20:30 to 20:45. It also lists the May 5 special performance at Jamsil Hangang Park as a 2,000-drone show, which is the key scale detail for anyone comparing it with other public drone events.²

Yonhap also reported the 8:30 p.m. timing and described the drone light show as a 15-minute performance that can be viewed free of charge near Hangang Park.³ For practical planning, that means the show itself is short: the important part is arriving early enough to find a viewing position before the 20:30 start.

How to Plan Around the Star Wars Drone Show

Because the Jamsil Hangang Park performance is free, the available source material does not point to ticket booking, seat selection, or refund steps. Instead, visitors should focus on three basics: confirm the schedule, choose a viewing area near Jamsil Hangang Park, and allow time before the 15-minute drone light show begins.

Weather is the most important variable. Seoul’s official event information says the schedule may change in bad weather, and the official drone show site says the show may be delayed or canceled depending on weather conditions.¹² EToday also reported Seoul’s recommendation to check the official website before visiting because rain and other weather conditions may affect the schedule.⁴

The Seoul notice also includes an operational note that public Wi-Fi may be temporarily suspended.¹ That matters for visitors who plan to coordinate by phone, navigate after arrival, or check updates near showtime; the source material does not provide further technical details, so it is safest to rely on confirmed event notices rather than assuming connectivity will be normal at the site.

The planned visuals are directly tied to the Star Wars theme. A Walt Disney representative said the show would feature drone choreography depicting “Star Wars characters and spacecraft,” which gives a concise preview of the expected imagery without listing a full scene-by-scene program.⁵

Related Jamsil Star Wars Day Details

The drone show also connects with the wider “Star Wars Day 2026 in Jamsil” program. Asia Economy reported that Walt Disney Company Korea is holding the Jamsil program from May 1 to 17 around the Lotte World Tower area, with 501st Legion Korea character parades on May 4 and 5 and the Star Wars-themed drone show over Jamsil Hangang Park on the evening of May 5.⁵

Maeil Business Newspaper’s May 4 photo report documented the holiday setting around the Jamsil Star Wars Day event, including 501st Legion Korea appearing near a large Grogu installation and taking part in a parade.⁶ That does not change the drone show’s core details, but it helps explain why Jamsil is the focal point for the Star Wars-linked programming during this period.
