This free Saturday jazz series runs on selected dates from Jan 24 to Mar 28, 2026, starting at 6:00 PM in Yeongdo, Busan. Seats are free but reservation-based, with booking routed through a Naver ticket link from the official listing. The official English name used across pages is BUSAN JAZZ PORT.
Only the nine listed Saturdays are valid event dates, with Feb 14 excluded as explicitly noted. Each date has a published theme and set list, so it’s easy to pick the session that matches your taste.

2. Dates and Start Time
The event runs on Saturdays at 18:00, but accuracy comes from following the official list of nine dates, not the phrase “weekly.” Because Feb 14 is excluded, treating it as a “every Saturday” series can cause an avoidable mismatch. For English-language visitors, the same event is indexed under BUSAN JAZZ PORT in Busan’s official English event calendar.
Official performance dates (all Saturdays)
- Jan 24, Jan 31
- Feb 7, Feb 21, Feb 28
- Mar 7, Mar 14, Mar 21, Mar 28
Checklist
- Excluded date: Feb 14 (Sat)
- First session: 2026-01-24 18:00
- Final session: 2026-03-28 18:00
Example (common mistake to avoid)
- If you remember “the second Saturday in February,” you might assume Feb 14 is included. The official list and exclusion note remove that ambiguity.
3. Venue and Address
The venue is listed as “Space Wonji / Yeongdo Space Wonji,” and the address is provided in full on official pages. The Dabom listing also includes navigation-oriented menus such as facility location and directions.
In the English calendar, the venue appears as “Space OneZ,” which helps when searching in English for BUSAN JAZZ PORT.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Venue (KR) | 스페이스 원지 / 영도 스페이스원지 |
| Venue (EN listing) | Space OneZ |
| Address | 214 Bongnaenaru-ro, Yeongdo-gu, Busan |
| Where to confirm directions | Dabom page (facility location / directions menus) |
4. Tickets and Price
The official listing clearly states the ticket price is free. However, “free” does not mean walk-in only—the event is described as viewable via advance reservation. For consistency across languages, the event identity for global search remains BUSAN JAZZ PORT.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Price | Free |
| Ticket type | Reservation-based entry (via Naver booking link) |
| Notice | “May vary depending on the booking site” is stated on the listing |
- Because the official page includes a booking link, confirming the reservation status before traveling is the most reliable step for a free event.
5. How to Apply (Reservation)
Busan’s official announcement history describes the format as Naver advance reservation through Space Wonji. The Dabom listing provides a direct Naver booking button/link for the event.
This reservation flow is the practical “entry gate” for BUSAN JAZZ PORT, so the booking page is where session-by-session availability must be confirmed.
Reservation steps
- Open the Dabom event page
- Click “Naver booking” (moves to the reservation page)
- Select the date/session and complete booking (login may be required by the ticket platform)
Example (avoiding wasted trips)
- If the Naver booking page shows a session as closed or sold out, choosing another listed date is typically faster than arriving without a confirmed reservation.
6. Official Pages to Bookmark
Using three sources together improves accuracy: a detailed program page, a booking-link page, and an English summary page. Visit Busan is the most detailed for themes, set lists, and lineup by date. The English calendar helps international visitors discover the event without Korean queries.
| Purpose | Page |
|---|---|
| Full program by date | Visit Busan event detail |
| Booking link | Dabom performance listing |
| English overview | Busan City English events calendar |
Example search queries
- English: “busan jazz port 2026 schedule”, “Space OneZ reservation”
7. Date-by-Date Program (9 Sessions)
Each session is labeled DAY01–DAY09 with a theme and set list, making it easy to choose based on musical style. Rather than treating it as a single concert, it works better as a curated series where you pick the date you want.
The finale session highlights a fusion concept (Korean traditional instruments + jazz), which is a distinct identity point for BUSAN JAZZ PORT.
| Date | Day | Theme (short) | One-line characteristic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan 24, 18:00 | 01 | Port opening | Brass-led opening set |
| Jan 31, 18:00 | 02 | Warm vocal jazz | Vocal + standards focus |
| Feb 7, 18:00 | 03 | Rhythm-driven night | Percussion & improvisation mood |
| Feb 21, 18:00 | 04 | Bright ensemble | Light, upbeat ensemble set |
| Feb 28, 18:00 | 05 | Dynamic trio | Piano trio–centered lineup. |
| Mar 7, 18:00 | 06 | Sea-breeze vocals | Calm vocal atmosphere |
| Mar 14, 18:00 | 07 | Classic jazz mood | Classic + jazz crossover feel |
| Mar 21, 18:00 | 08 | Soulful night | Husky vocals + groove |
| Mar 28, 18:00 | 09 | Port to the world | Korean traditional + jazz fusion finale |
- If you want familiar standards, DAY02 (Jan 31) lists widely known songs such as “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Misty.”
- If you want a clear concept difference, DAY09 (Mar 28) is explicitly described as a Korean traditional + jazz fusion performance.
8. Before You Go
A free reservation event is easiest when you confirm three items right before departure: the exact date, the booking status, and the address. Booking availability can vary by session, so the reservation page is the decisive source for entry planning. This final checkpoint reduces last-minute surprises for BUSAN JAZZ PORT visitors.
Checklist
- Confirm your date is one of the official nine sessions (not “every Saturday”)
- Open the Dabom listing and confirm the Naver booking link status for your session
- Use the full address (214 Bongnaenaru-ro) as the final location anchor
