Block Party Music and Art Festival (Korean: 블록 파티 뮤직 앤 아트 페스티벌) is a music festival held in Haebangchon, Seoul, South Korea. The festival takes the form of a block party and is held at various pubs and live performance halls in Haebangchon.[1]
The festival first began in 2022. In addition to music performances, the festival includes drag shows, stand-up comedy, wrestling, performance art, magic show, and more.[2][3] Ten venues joined the festival in 2023 and 12 venues in 2024.[2][1]
Organiser Jamie Finn announced that 2024 will be the last Block Party festival, and in June 2025 he hosted the similar Debaser Festival, located in Busan with four venues.[4] But he reversed the decision to end the Block Party festival and stated that a new one would take place in September 2025.[4][5]
