Busan Fireworks Festival 2026: where to spend the daytime before the show? A quiet Haeundae cafe in the forest

The 21st Busan Fireworks Festival takes place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, around Gwangalli Beach. The City of Busan and the Busan Festival Organizing Committee confirmed the date when paid seat sales opened on September 4. One thing first: you cannot see the fireworks from this Haeundae cafe. We are inside a forest on Dalmaji-gil hill. This guide is for travelers who need a calm place to spend the daytime before heading to the beach.

Fruiterie Forest is a forest greenhouse cafe at 491 Dalmaji-gil, Haeundae-gu, Busan, open from 10:00 to 20:00 on Saturdays.

Why the festival day feels long

The Busan Fireworks Festival happens in the evening, but many visitors arrive in Busan in the morning. That leaves several hours before you go to claim a spot by the beach. Some people spend those hours walking crowded streets. Others look for a Haeundae cafe away from the crowds. Many choose a shaded table, a proper meal and a slow coffee, and leave with energy for the night. Travelers who plan their rest before their sightseeing usually enjoy the evening more.

Getting here and opening hours

On Saturdays we open at 10:00 and close at 20:00. Last order is 19:50. Please check our Naver Place page closer to the date for any changes on November 7. Follow Dalmaji-gil up the hill; when you see a white building between the trees, you have arrived.

Traffic control around Gwangalli on Busan Fireworks Festival day can change every year, so please check the official notice from the Busan Festival Organizing Committee and leave plenty of time to get to the beach.

Where to sit during the day

Early November afternoons can be windy, so the glass greenhouses are the most comfortable. The large greenhouse has 24 seats and the small one has 10, and both can be reserved for one hour of private use. On sunny days the forest seats between the trees and the second-floor deck are lovely too. If you are traveling alone, the window bar tables are the most relaxed spots in this Haeundae cafe.

For a full meal before a long evening, try the brunch plate with cheese baby castella, salad, a sunny-side-up egg, bacon and salsiccia sausage. For something lighter, choose a cold-pressed juice made from that morning's fruit, or a tropical baby castella baked to order. Our menu can be browsed in English through online ordering. This Haeundae cafe is a good place to warm up before a cool night by the sea.

Fruiterie Forest is a member of K-Tour Pass, so if you are traveling with one, you can check the benefit details in the K-Tour Pass guide.

Parking

We have 20 free parking spaces in front of the cafe. On weekends they start to fill around noon and are busiest between 15:00 and 16:00. November 7 is a Saturday, so mornings are the easiest time to park.

Coming back on a weekday

If you want to see the forest again after the festival, come on a weekday morning, when it is easy to pick your seat. On weekdays, ordering one drink per person also comes with one free Americano refill.
