2026 Wonju Rooftop Film Festival
2026 원주옥상영화제
Marking its tenth anniversary, this free non-competitive rooftop film festival takes place during summer evenings across Wonju, providing rare access to independent art cinema for local audiences. Organized by young residents to address the shortage of art film screenings in the region, it features works by local directors in its opening program 'Gangwon Short Films', alongside feature films, artist performances, and interactive activities. Entirely conceived by citizen activists, the festival embodies true 'community cinema' where audiences shape the programming and experience.

🎟️ How to book — Official event site
- 1
Most regional festivals are free entry
Korean municipalities fund a huge number of free festivals (flowers, food, light shows) — free entry is the norm, not the exception, sometimes with paid stalls or activities on site.
- 2
Check the event's official site
The link sits on the event's VisitKorea page — it's the most reliable source for the program, hours, and any last-minute changes.
- 3
Book via a Korean platform if a reservation is required
When a festival has paid premium activities or an attached concert, booking usually goes through NOL or YES24 — see the matching guide on this page.
- 4
Call 1330 when in doubt
Korea's tourism hotline answers in English, Chinese and Japanese, 24/7 — handy for confirming a time or address when the official site is Korean-only.
💡 Good to know
When a price shows as "see details", the organiser simply hasn't published one in advance: in almost all of those cases entry is free and only some on-site activities are paid. Bring a little cash — many stalls don't take cards.
