Moonlight Seoul Circuit Party

Moonlight is South Korea's international gay circuit festival — Seoul's big party weekend, held in mid-August. In 2026 it runs 15–17 August, drawing an international circuit crowd to the Korean capital for a run of themed nights, day parties and pool parties.

It sits within Seoul's wider queer summer and pulls DJs and partygoers from across Asia and beyond — a relative newcomer to the global circuit map, but a fast-growing one. It is a party festival, not a Pride march.

Tickets are sold through the festival's official site, usually as per-event tickets and passes; because details are released on the Korean-language channels, check the official site and Instagram for the venue line-up and prices.

Practical notes: Seoul's gay nightlife concentrates around Itaewon, the city's most international district. Seoul's metro is world-class and runs late; August is hot, humid and monsoon-season warm. Book accommodation near Itaewon if you want to be in the thick of it.
