Changgyeongung Palace Night Court Banquet

창경궁 야연

This family-friendly palace night banquet program reinterprets the historical feast offered by Crown Prince Hyomyeong to his father King Sunjo as a tribute to filial piety. Participants dress in Joseon court costumes, assuming the roles of court officials and consorts, and enjoy traditional court cuisine alongside family members while attending performances and engaging in cultural activities. The program runs across two seasons in 2026: May (7–17) and September–October (24 September–4 October), making it ideal for celebrating Parents' Day and Chuseok with loved ones in the enchanting grounds of this historic palace.

🎟️ 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.
