Hello! This is Kim Jong-hee, a reporter for the Ulsan Nuri Blog!
Have you heard about the exciting Ulsan night market that opens up on hot summer nights, offering a refreshing and romantic experience?
It's the Ulsan Grand Park Garden Night Market.
It's a perfect place to enjoy a light outing on a summer evening.
Let me provide you with detailed information about the event, including tips on location, delicious food options, and fun activities!
Ulsan Grand Park Garden Night Market
🗓️ Event Period: July 29, 2026 (Wednesday) - August 29, 2026 (Saturday)

🕕 Operating Hours: 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM

The market is located in the grassy area in front of the Memorial Tower. Many families tend to head the opposite way at the entrance, but just remember the Memorial Tower!
Getting There & Location Tips
Entering through the main gate is recommended!
Ulsan Grand Park is quite expansive, so it can be confusing to know where to enter.
The Garden Night Market is located near the grassy area by the Memorial Tower. Among the various entrances, the main gate from the direction of the old Uljin County Office is the closest!
Entering from the east or south gates requires a bit more walking, so if you want a comfortable visit, come in through the main gate and stroll by the Pond of Abundance.
There are also well-maintained walking paths nearby, and it's nice to take a light walk along the Metasequoia road.
After exploring the Garden Night Market, I recommend it as a lovely evening outing. Walking along the green paths can help you forget the heat and lift your spirits.
I met some members of a theater club along the way. They were dressed uniquely and mentioned they came out to enjoy the Garden Night Market :)
Delicious Food & Food Truck Zone
The highlight of the night market is undoubtedly the delicious food!
This market features a variety of food stalls and food trucks, offering an impressive selection!
Food stalls include renowned restaurants and bakeries from Ulsan, as well as popular dessert cafes from social media and offline.
The food truck zone is surrounded by busking and resting areas.
You'll find fresh fruit juices, hot dogs, tteokbokki, sundae, churros, kimbap, and more.
It was a pleasant surprise to find desserts from places I’ve always wanted to try at the food stalls!
Moreover, the menus at the food truck zone and food stalls are so diverse that there's hardly any overlap, making it fun to choose what to eat.
You can enjoy your food on a picnic mat laid out on the spacious grassy area or at the nearby resting areas, camping zones, or tables and chairs.
Even though the weather is hot, it's lovely to relax with family or a partner while enjoying the night breeze in the open grassy area!
Emotional Busking Performances
On the special stage in the center, two live performances take place every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday during the operating hours.
The performance times are short, so be sure to check the schedule.
🎶 Part 1: 7:30 PM - 8:00 PM
🎶 Part 2: 8:00 PM - 8:30 PM
The busking concert features a variety of genres, including pop, ballads, and fusion concerts. Enjoying delicious food while listening to sweet music truly creates a romantic atmosphere on a summer night!
Cute Flea Market & Experience Booths
While the outdoor night market programs may feel a bit dull for kids, there are experience booths and a flea market that everyone can enjoy!
Enhance your joy with charming shopping and experiences in the summer night air.
Experience booths offer a variety of hands-on programs for children and families.
The sales booths (flea market) feature items like pottery, rare plants, handmade silver jewelry, socks, and fabric goods at reasonable prices.
You can also visit the Ulsan Tourism Souvenir Promotion Center and the comprehensive information center nearby!
The presence of a medical room at the information center adds a sense of security.
Play Facilities & Photo Zones
There are play facilities and photo zones that both kids and couples will enjoy.
Children take photos while their parents share in the joy.
There's a romantic carousel and cute little trains (like a duck train) for kids! It's a popular spot for capturing beautiful memories with your children.
