Organized by the Korea Heritage Service, the Heritage Garden Rest Concert takes place at the K-Heritage Garden within Seoul Forest, located in the Seongdong District of Seoul. The event series is designed to promote the garden, which serves as a demonstration site for modular traditional garden research, as an accessible space for public relaxation. Performances are scheduled every Friday and Saturday from mid-September through October 24, 2026.

The concert program is split into two distinct themes. Friday evening sessions feature fusion gugak (traditional Korean music) designed for relaxation, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in September and 6:00 p.m. in October. Saturday afternoon performances start at 3:00 p.m. and focus on folk songs and traditional music tailored for families and weekend visitors. The ensemble Bidan, which includes musicians trained in Jongmyo Jeryeak, performs a repertoire that blends instruments like the gayageum and haegeum with modern arrangements and pansori.

Admission to all concerts is free, and no prior reservations are required for attendees. The event coincides with the Seoul International Garden Fair, providing an additional cultural layer for those exploring the park's autumn scenery.
