BPAM 2026, the Busan International Performing Arts Market, runs October 1–7. Alongside professional exchange, it offers performances for public audiences. To turn the festival into a usable itinerary, begin with a production’s date and venue rather than assuming the whole programme takes place at one location.

BPAM 2026: two starting points
The programme spans theatre, dance, music and multidisciplinary work. So Percussion offers a starting point for listeners interested in percussion and the possibilities of ensemble performance. Mammalian Diving Reflex’s Nightwalks with Teenagers introduces a different relationship between young people, audiences and the city. Read both descriptions to compare formats before choosing.
Check how participation works
A music performance and an urban participatory work may require very different preparations. Consult each production page for the starting location, movement, duration, age rules and any language or subtitle provision. A promotional image does not establish how you will take part, and the festival’s international scope does not mean every performance has the same language support.
Leave room for travel across Busan
Announced venues include Dongseo University’s Centum Campus spaces, Haeundae Cultural Center, Busan Citizens Park and KT&G Sangsangmadang. The foundation’s office address is not your default performance address. Save the exact venue from the ticket confirmation and allow travel time between productions; sharing a festival name does not mean sharing a neighbourhood.
Public tickets and delegate registration
The official site separates delegate registration from ticket purchasing. General audiences should follow individual production booking information, while professional networking has its own arrangements. Prices and schedules vary, so do not assume an all-free festival or a universal entry pass. Start with one essential show, or select a date and compare only the productions available that day.
